We handcrafted this classic writing desk with walnut hardwood from Birmingham's urban forest. For your home office, computer desk or a place to work from home, comfortable and focused on a novel or a grocery list. The writing desk offers a unique contemporary design for the home office or any room. Three open storage compartments and two self-closing drawers ensure longevity and functionality. Simple steel pulls have a black patina. The finished back allows the desk to be used in the middle of a room for 360 viewing.Urban hardwood means it's eco-friendly. Expert craftsmanship makes it tomorrow's heirloom furniture.Urban wood has character. Walnut pieces may contain color variations ranging from deep brown to light yellow. Character can include variations in color and grain, small pin knots, evidence of historical intrusion. There may be cracks or knots that we fill, patch or join in a considered and artful way at the makers discretion. We look at every slab and decide what needs a patch or epoxy or both. Case by case, one may be more effective and better for the furniture, aesthetically, structurally, and for our process. Please note: If a specific tool, like a patch, is not desired, please specify this when ordering. This may require procuring different lumber which can alter costs. If color adjustment is requested on a completed piece after the fact, we will charge additional you for a custom stain.
