Resolute desk

Visitor Ryan is interested in plans for the Resolute desk...
hi, i am looking to start carving and building my own exact replica of the hms resolute desk, i was wondering if you know of the exact measurements of the desk overall size and if any other measurements of it , drawings, and what not. and i fully agree with you on the full replica of the white house and a museum . maybe in 7 years from now when i run for congress i can help you obtain that goal, or if luck is on my side maybe when i am president in 2028.

Does anyone know of any such plans?

I don't know where you can get detailed plans of the desk but I do know there are replicas available for purchase. And sites selling such replicas have fairly decent photos of the detail. It may not be hyper-accurate.

But that takes all the fun out of building your own!

I just meant that the sellers websites show detailed photos. Well . . semi-detailed.
