The work surface has a three quarter wood gallery and raised surface across the front. This raised edge keeps jewels and gems from rolling off the surface, when being worked. The desk is equipped with two drawers. The top drawer has a small brass knob and a single compartment. The lower drawer sits just below and has multiple compartments for keeping tools and precious stones. It is somewhat disguised without a pull and moves with the top drawer when it is open and closed. The desk is constructed with mortise and tenon joints, and wood pegs. Sometimes a simple design, well executed, is perfection.
