Martin discovered this yardstick. It had been broken in half and an attempt to repair it had gone badly awry. Martin took out the 6 screws that someone had put in it trying to hold it together. He then pieced it together and glued it up. Here is the result. The front says "Northwood, NH bicentennial 1773 - 1993. The back says "Encyclopedia Yardstick" and has speeds, distances, weights and measures, lengths, cubic yard concrete, linear feet in 100 board foot lumber, size for size lumber (actual size of lumber), nail lengths, decimal equivalents, circle, miscellaneous (water, land, and wood). What any well educated carpenter would need to have at the tip of his fingers on the back of his/her yardstick.
