Figured since Trump just moved the original to the White House, I'd show off the one hanging in my living room. I don't know when, but I guess my dad made this, probably more than 40 years ago. I don't remember seeing it growing up, but I found it stashed away in his garage after he passed away. My mother remembered him doing it, just not when or why.
Would be funny if it was real. They do occasionally crop up. I know there was one that was purchased in a thrift shop in Nashville for $5 and it was rolled up and heavily shellacked and the guy who bought it just had a suspicion and hehad it studied and sure enough it was an actual real copy of an actual declaration of Independence or tue constitution. I forget which.
I've thought about that. The foggy origen story definitely excites my imagination. He probably got it at Disney world or something like that when we were kids, and I never noticed because I was distracted with the experience. Then again who knows, there was a lot of stuff in the box I found it in that you'd think would be treated with a bit more reverence that a dusty box in the garage. He wasn't really the sentimental type though.
Good save. Keep a record of your own story and about what you know for your own kids. It's a good remembrance for your father to pass down, and a reminder of our pure American heritage.
I got one too. Haven't opened it in 6 years because I haven't made a case to display it in yet. Woodshop is almost done, so that will be the 3rd thing I make. First is the workbench, 2nd is a display for my Bible.
