Description
This wooden ruler is cut in the side profile of a car, with a straight measuring edge along one long side and the car's wheels, roofline and windows shaped into the wood. It comes in two colours, red or blue, with the body of the car in a bright flat colour, black spoked wheels and the windows left in pale natural wood. The measuring edge is marked in centimetres and millimetres from 0 to 15cm, so it does a proper job as well as looking cheerful. The whole ruler is 16cm long, 8.3cm at its widest and just 0.3cm thick.
At 16cm long it slips easily into a pencil case or a desk drawer, and it is short enough to keep to hand on a busy desk in a study, home office or bedroom. Use it for ruling a neat line under a heading, measuring a sketch or marking out a small craft project. Because the car rises from the measuring edge, the ruler is easy to pick up and hold steady while you draw along it. It is a fun piece of stationery for anyone who loves cars, and the two colours mean you can choose a favourite or keep one in each room where you work.
It is cut from a single flat piece of wood, with the colour on the front and the reverse left plain. It is very light, so it adds next to nothing to a bag. As with any wooden stationery, keep it dry and wipe it with a soft dry cloth, and avoid soaking it or leaving it somewhere hot, as thin wood can warp. We like it wrapped with a notebook and a few pencils as a cheerful small present, and on its own it brings a bright splash of colour to a pen pot.
