Declaration of Independence (lasered onto a wood plaque)
I woodburned the Declaration of Independence onto a wood plaque using my laser cutter-engraver, which uses a laser beam to cut or engrave a wide variety of materials (plastic, wood, leather, stone, glass, paper, rubber, foams, and metal).
The views expressed on this page may or may not reflect my current opinions, nor do they necessarily represent my past ones. After reading a slice of what I wrote in my various websites and books, you may conclude that I am a liberal Democrat or a conservative Republican. Wrong; there is
a better alternative. Just as the primary benefit from debate classes results when students present and defend opinions contrary to their own, I use a similar strategy as a creative writing tool to expand my brainpower—and yours.
Mystified? Stay tuned for an explanation. PS: The wheels in your head are already turning a bit faster, aren't they?
“The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.”
