Acme - Flexible Wood Ruler

Flexible Wood Ruler

Measure curves and contours with spring-back maple flexibility

Select hard maple flexes just enough to conform to curved surfaces while maintaining the rigidity needed for accurate straight edges. Metal edges embedded along both sides protect against wear and provide durable reference points that won't chip or compress over time, critical when you're measuring the same dimensions repeatedly or scribing against the ruler's edge. The 1⅜-inch width offers stability without bulk, keeping the ruler flat against your work surface while providing enough mass to resist sliding during marking.

Scaled in sixteenths across the full length, this ruler handles both rough layout work and precise measurements without requiring you to squint at tiny increments or calculate conversions. The maple's fine grain resists warping and splitting even with repeated flexing, while its smooth finish allows pencils and scribes to glide along the edge without catching. Whether you're measuring canvas stretchers, marking mat board cuts, or checking frame dimensions, the combination of flexibility and protected edges means this ruler adapts to the task rather than forcing you to work around its limitations.
