Thomas Jefferson's Writing Desk

Thomas Jefferson Writing Desk

In association with Fine Woodworking we offer this tutorial showing how to build your own Thomas Jefferson Writing Desk.

Thomas Jefferson's Writing DeskBuild a piece of history: the little writing desk Thomas Jefferson designed. It's a replica of the actual desk on which Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence in July, 1776.

Designer and builder Lon Schleining had the great privilege to receive a grant from Taunton Press and a commission from the Smithsonian to build a replica of the desk for the Smithsonian's Castle Collection.
