Handmade Timeline Rules

Our "Timeline Rules" are classic examples of the toolmakers' art and a truly unique way to create a permanent record of your child’s growth and development. Our skilled craftsmen produce these rules using the same premium quality materials and production methods that were developed and perfected by the forebears of our company: methods that have been continuously practiced since 1869.

The wooden rule blanks are cut and molded from select Sugar Maple, the species preferred by generations of toolmakers for its superior strength, stability and appearance.  Numerals and markings that appear on the face of each rule are not printed superficially on the surface; instead they are meticulously engraved deep into the body of the rule and then hand-filled with pigment to create permanent graphics.  Inlaid end caps are machined from solid brass and are carefully fit, flush-mounted and pinned to each end of the rule. Finally, the entire rule is sealed and then rubbed to a beautiful satin luster. The finished rules are heirloom quality, and each will develop its own character and coloring as it ages, becoming more beautiful with the passage of time.

 

The graduated front panel is intended for recording changes in your child's height during the growth years. The clear back panel provides space for recording milestones in your child’s life and other significant bits of personal and family history. This record may include events from infancy through adolescence or an entire lifetime. Completed rules combine personal history and development with traditional craftsmanship and the timeless beauty of the materials to create a personalized memento that can be fondly displayed and appreciated for generations to come. Some things need to last forever.
