I enjoy collecting pens, which are put to heavy daily use taking copious notes in my day job (I'm a shrink). My other hobby is woodworking (using hand tools), and I combined the two to come up with this lapdesk - more of a fun object than practical, but for use none the same.
The body is clothed in West Australian She-oak, finished in Organoil Danish Oil and wax.

There is a drawer for some of my fountain pen collection ...
