About Our Custom Writing Slopes |
A Writing Slope is a portable box that folds out to form a slanted (sloped) writing surface. The surface is commonly covered with 'leather', but some opt for a 'felt' material. A Writing Slope makes a great gift for anyone who loves handwriting letters with pen and ink. The interior panels lift up for storage of paper, pads, notebooks. A small drawer stores ink, pens, nibs etc. This design dates back hundreds of years, and we now allow you to design your own writing slope using Our Online Form. We have become intrigued with writing slopes. What a great concept they are! And because of the great response we have received, we are asked to build more and more of these boxes. View More » |

Trivia: Did you know? The 'writing slope' dates back to the 1700's. Thomas Jefferson used a writing desk while drafting the Declaration of Independence! His lap desk is now being stored at the Smithsonian Institute. It is treasured as a true historical relic. See how you can build your own Jefferson's Writing Desk |
