A portable wooden writing box made by Galen Leather with Walden Woodworkers Co., built to carry pens and notebooks and double as a writing surface. The angled lid lets you write comfortably away from a desk, and the body is solid walnut with vegetable-tanned leather, while this special edition tops it with aromatic thuja wood. It suits journalers, letter writers and fountain pen users who want an analog setup that travels. Against plain laptop sleeves or pen cases, it is a dedicated writing station rather than simple storage, and buyers rate it highly for craft and finish.

Buyers rate it very highly, praising the woodwork, the leather and the feel of writing on the angled lid. Complaints are few and mostly about size and the care a wooden box needs.
The Writing Box is a portable wooden writing desk, inspired by Thomas Jefferson's portable writing desk. This special edition has a top side made of thuja wood, a light, aromatic wood with a fine texture. The rest of the box is solid walnut, finished with natural linseed and tung oil, and closed with a nickel-plated brass clasp.
Inside, the leather lining has elastic slots and holders for pens, notebooks, clips, papers and rulers. Two wooden prongs in the lower half flip up to support the lid, which creates a 15-degree angled writing surface. The box can be used as a lap desk, or it can display a fountain pen collection.
Optional vegetable-tanned leather straps with snaps work as a carrying handle. Each box varies in color because it is made of natural wood, and no two are identical. Wood can warp with seasonal changes in humidity, mostly in winter. A gap of up to 4-5 mm between the sides is normal. Keep the lid closed when the box is not in use.
