Veritas Transfer/Log Scribe with Case

For transfer scribing, you typically use it horizontally with the curved, non-marring tip to trace a wall or moulding profile onto a panel; for log scribing, you use it vertically, with either tip, to transfer the contour of one log onto another.

Yes, this log scribe can be set up with two pencils for double scribing, or with the hardened steel pin on one leg for a single scribed line.

It has a maximum capacity of 12", which covers most wall and moulding gaps encountered in cabinetmaking and carpentry.

This can happen because the level mount is held by friction only and may shift slightly as the arms move; when that happens, recheck the outer level against a known vertical surface and readjust as needed.

It comes with a purple indelible pencil, but it's designed to accept any standard pencil, so you can swap in whichever grade or color you prefer.
