The Signature Lapboard has many uses. Sitting with a pen in hand, applying your Signature to a Greeting Card, a Love Letter, or a Personalized Note is a rewarding and growing trend to reach out, and communicate our feelings for others.

The original Lapboard dates back to my childhood.  Later, in the 1980’s, a very dear friend of mine, who was a woodworker of some fame, replicated 20 copies of the original Lapboard, which I gave to some friends and family for Christmas.  To this day, I receive compliments from those early ‘owners’ that they use the Lapboard every week and enjoy it immensely. 

I’ve been encouraged by these compliments, which motivated me to finally act, and make a difference!  As you can see from the picture here (circa 2004), with the Lapboard under my computer, that I have indeed, imagined producing these Lapboards for others to enjoy

At the beginning of 2020, a goal was set to accomplish this task.  A goal now achieved, not without significant challenges along the way!

Thanks to yet another woodworking mentor, this new Signature Lapboard has been enhanced with a perfectly designed handle at the top of the Lapboard for ease of handling and access.

Placed upright beside your favorite easy chair or couch, this beautifully crafted, light weight, durable piece of Birch, will become your go-to surface, to put pen to paper, place a book, laptop or digital device on, or even to enjoy a meal in front of your TV.
