Dan and Deb have had a run on writing slopes lately, and with good reason! From the first simple poplar slope I ordered, to the Twain box and my stationery box, right through this fabulously exquisite Rosewood slope, Dan and Deb only continue to improve on perfection. The more challenging, the better, and they have truly created the most priceless heirloom pieces for me that I ever could have imagined. This slope is the most beautiful yet! I am forever grateful.

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 » |

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 |
