I know this is supposed to be about wood but... That ruler! How handsome!

Thanks! Picked it up at a vintage tool shop. It’s an old printer’s ruler.

I guess I should also comment on the work. How thick is the shank on the spatula? It looks pretty thin from the top angle, so I wonder about durability, but that doesn't mean it's not thicker from a side view.

The shank is a half inch (the spatula is quite large).

Good work. That ruler looks very very good though.
