Editor's Desk under construction

A piece I'm proud of, this desk measures 1" wide by 2" long by 1 1/2" tall at the back. I'm especially happy with how my inkwell turned out. It was made using a needle file to file down the sides of a wooden dowel into the deires shape, then cutting it off, drilling a hole for the opening and adding a brass rod as a pen.
My next piece will be a type case- I'm not sure how it will go, there are a lot of dividers for the lead type- I may have to make dividers from paper. I'm glad I own tweezers.
