Fibonacci Gauge at Your Fingertips
This double-sized Fibonacci Gauge is made new in my shop using attractive black walnut wood and aluminum hardware.  This tool holds the Golden Ratio constant over the span of its points,  and can be used when creating small/medium sized drawings/paintings or patterns in any scale to place objects and components in pleasing proportion with each other and the piece as a whole.
The great builders of ancient Greece knew about and incorporated the Golden Ratio in the timeless designs of their wonderful buildings and temples.  For example, using the Fibonacci Gauge to inspect a photo of the Parthenon of Athens, you could see the Golden Ratio incorporated into nearly every aspect of that beautiful structure.  Similarly, using the gauge to inspect the joints of your arm from fingers to elbow, you can see that the natural spacing of the knuckles and joints also conforms to the Golden Ratio.  Similar phenomena occur universally in nature, so the Golden Ratio is considered to be a "natural ratio".  You can tap the inherent attractiveness of this natural ratio by using the fibonacci gauge to adjust the proportions in your own designs...and be pleasantly surprised with successful outcomes!
This double-size Fibonacci Gauge weighs 3 ounces (85 grams), and measures 14 inches (35.5 cm) long, 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) thick, and has a total working span ranging  from 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) to about 21 inches (53 cm) wide.  It accurately holds the golden ratio constant over the variable span of its three points, with a margin of error of less than plus or minus 2%.  It is useful to artists, crafters, sculptors, architects, drafters, wood workers, quiltmakers, and others who want their creative handiwork to convey beauty and harmony.  Medical and dental technicians use the Golden Ratio and related instruments in their fields of work.  And financial stock traders make important decisions while observing the Golden Ratio in the rise and fall of market graphs.
A fibonacci gauge this size can be used by a teacher when demonstrating the golden ratio on a chalkboard.  Or useful to an artist to lay out a canvas; or a crafter, to use with pencil and paper, in any scale, during the design process; or to use on a physical workpiece in the shop when making that next measurement.  Or, as a teaching tool, a fibonacci gauge can help students explore their surroundings for the natural occurrence of the golden ratio.
Cosmetic Specialists: Please note that this size of fibonacci gauge is probably not suitable for permanent make-up.  My 7-inch model gauge is a size suited to P. M.
See my other listings for fibonacci gauges in two different sizes and made with other attractive high quality hardwoods.  Made with high grade wood, no two gauges are exactly alike; each has its unique attractive wood-grain appearance.
And each is guaranteed to accurately render the golden ratio, with a margin of error of less than plus/minus 2 percent.
