I was intrigued by a recent post here showing a scrolled copy of the Declaration of Independence by a gentleman from Florida.
I had just completed an exact replica of Jefferson's lapdesk upon which the Declaration was penned. The original of this desk, built by Benjamin Randolph as designed by Jefferson, remains a significant item in the Smithsonian today.
Here are a few pictures; thought you might be interested.
