I remember reading an article written by a well-known woodworker recalling his days as an apprentice. The master craftsman made all of his tools himself, with one exception, a Blue Spruce try square.

I thought, good enough for me. Then I looked at the price and moved on.

If you want the most gorgeous try square and don’t care what it costs, get one of the Blue Spruce squares.

For me, if it’s square, that’s good enough.
