It has arrived and I just adore it! You all have created a beautiful writing slope -- I know you hear that often. 
I had looked at ones in antique shops but they were in such disrepair. I was interested in a fully functional one in very good condition. I am so glad that I found you on the Internet. You have made my day!! Thank you. ~ GS from Tennessee |

The writing slope is a work of art and a treasure that will be passed down through the generations of my family! The photos don't do it justice as the wood is gorgeous. The box has a feeling of satin it is so well done. I could not have been more pleased!
The attention to detail is incredible down to a maroon ribbon on the key! It was built to add a space for the blotter I requested which shows great flexibility and ingenuity! The McBrides were a joy to work with and I highly recommend them for any type of work they offer. ~ HO from Mississippi |

We are a small business who deals with leather journals and the history of handwriting. We've been looking for quite some time to find an authentic writing slope to use as a part of our business.
Working with Dan and Deb was a great experience! The ordering process was extremely simple with the two of them paying attention to every customization of our slope. Dan's craftmanship is flawless while his attention to detail is amazing. We are extremely happy with our writing slope. It is an amazing addition to our business as we can accurately show our customers how it looked to write a letter in the 1800's. ~ JM from South Dakota |

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. ~ KR from Colorado |

I can't tell you how much I really appreciate the writing slope you made for me. The slope is absolutely gorgeous, and the craftmanship supurb.
My uncle said that your dovetail joints are the finest he's ever seen, and we both agree that the slope is of very high quality. Thank you again!! ~ KR from Colorado |

After sitting on the fence for a month, I finally pulled the trigger and with the help of Dan and Deb, designed a writing slope. Deb and Dan then turned that dream into reality, and what a gorgeous and sturdy writing slope.
Everything is truly built to last, and every piece of wood is picked to show it's best side in the finished piece. Each little swirl and micro knot-let was displayed as if that piece of wood had grown up specifically for this project. I had ordered a slope done in black walnut, and I was worried about the loss of color due to the modern steaming and processing of walnut. However, after a nice layer of tung oil, it was apparent that the walnut still had it's wonderful warm glow. I had asked for a secret drawer put in, and when oiling the wood, also, being an unfinished writing slope, I was half expecting something that needed a little touching up with sandpaper, but was I wrong. Everything was as soft and smooth as a baby's behind, just ready for what ever finish your heart desires. I couldn't help but notice the care that was taken to assemble each component. Being a custom, one time project, it is expected that everything is not perfect, but those spots have been repaired with the utmost care becoming invisible in the final project. If you're looking for something that is machine made and perfect, look somewhere else. If you're looking for something that is obviously made by caring hands to be passed down from one generation to the next, Deb and Dan are the ones to see. I would definitely come back again for another box. ~ RC from Missouri |

I received my writing slope yesterday just as scheduled. It is absolutely, positively, magnificent. The workmanship is divine! Dan did an outstanding job on it. I'm almost too afraid to use it for fear that I might damage it. - RR from Tennessee

After I received my writing slope, I began to realize that I needed something as special to store my favorite stationery. I began to research stationery boxes and found none that suited my needs or desire. As my search continued, I slowly arrived to the conclusion I wanted this new stationery box to match the writing slope Deb and Dan had produced for me. This convinced me only they could produce a box I would be happy and proud to own.I sent hand drawn plans (2 semesters of college drafting classes finally paid off!) to Deb who worked tireless with me via email to work out the details. Then Dan took time from his very busy schedule to call me and inquire even further about some minor changes he wanted to recommend.
The result? A beautiful stationery box that is magnificent. It matches my writing slope perfectly and is a beautiful sight to behold. Bravo Deb and Dan! ~ RR from Tennessee |

I wanted to give a very unique and special keepsake box to someone very near and dear to my heart. Knowing their work very well, only Deb and Dan came to mind as being capable of making such a box.Using plans from previous keepsake boxes, they made a beautiful box I was thrilled to give and were even gracious enough to install some extras I wanted, such as felt and a name plate I had made. In an age of terrible service and lack of concern for the customer, purchasing from Deb and Dan is more akin to making and visiting friends than a business transaction. - RR from Tennessee

Spending 2 long days without my writing slope in a hotel room during the Washington, D.C. blizzard of 2010 was more than I could bear. The solution, Dan and Deb of Arizona Specialty Woodcrafts course!My cabin fever during some 2 to 3 feet of snowfall gave me ample time and resulted in another set of hand drawn sketches for a "Travel Slope" (Travel Box in Ms. Deb's language). And once again, she and Dan were fantastic and outdid themselves as they brought my vision to realty.
It is a beautiful addition to my family of Dan and Deb's creations. Now I can take my favorite stationery on the go to anywhere and have a beautiful mini writing slope to do my writing. ~ RR from Tennessee |

No one in the business of wood can produce such fine things that will last for a lifetime. Comforting to know there are those that still want their workmanship to become their legacy and live beyond them. It is obvious Dan and Deb feel that way about their work.Well made and beautiful wood items that will last lifetimes were not just produced generations ago but are still being made today by a select few. One look at Dan and Deb's fine wood creations and you will understand. They are within the ranks of those select few among us. Don't buy an antique writing slope but rather have Deb and Dan build one for you. Then you will have your own that you can give to your children and grandchildren to become your family's heirloom with its own history and allure. ~ RR of Tennessee |
