Crafted from high-quality, untreated beechwood with a reinforced steel edge, it offers exceptional durability and a smooth drawing surface.

FAQs
Does this ruler include imperial markings?
No, this specific model features only metric markings (centimeters and millimeters).
Is the wood treated with any chemicals?
No, the beechwood is untreated and free from toxic finishes.
Can I use this ruler to cut paper with a hobby knife?
Yes, the reinforced steel edge is specifically designed to handle and protect the wood from cutting tools.
What is the total length of the ruler?
The total length is 17cm, which is ideal for standard notebooks and portable pencil cases.
Is the steel edge removable?
No, the steel edge is integrated into the design for durability and cannot be removed.
Will the wood warp over time?
If kept in a dry, room-temperature environment, the high-quality beechwood is very stable, though it should be kept away from extreme moisture.
Troubleshooting
The ruler feels slightly rough to the touch.
Lightly sand the edges with very fine-grit sandpaper to restore the smooth finish.
Measurements are hard to read due to dust or debris.
Gently wipe the surface with a dry lint-free cloth to clear the etched markings.
The wood appears to be drying out.
You may apply a small amount of food-safe wood oil to condition the beechwood, though this is optional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This ruler does not require any setup; it is ready to use immediately. For optimal longevity, store the ruler in a dry environment to prevent the natural wood from expanding or warping due to humidity. If the ruler surface becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or soaking the wood in water, as these can raise the grain and damage the precision of the markings. If you notice minor nicks in the wood from accidental drops, a very fine-grit sandpaper can be used to smooth the area, ensuring the ruler remains comfortable to handle.
