About this product
A compass with the journey drawn into it
Honey-brown birch with a compass rose engraved at the centre and an arrow running through it from top to bottom – head above, fletching below. Around the rose is the journey itself: a small aircraft top left, a mountain range with pines top right, two sailing boats bottom right, and the continents drawn low behind the rose inside a dashed circle. There are no cardinal letters anywhere; the places stand in for them.
Why it suits a journey
A wooden cover survives a rucksack in a way card does not, and that matters more on a trip than anywhere else. The paper is watercolour weight, so a page takes a wash of the view on one side and a ticket or a photograph pasted on the other, and the book comes home as the record of the trip rather than as a pad that fell apart on the way.
The rigid cover is what makes it work en route: on a train seat, a wall or a knee, there is a board behind the paper.
How it is built
One sheet of birch plywood, scored along the spine with a row of laser cuts so that it bends like a hinge; closed, it reads as a solid block of wood. Inside, a four-ring mechanism screwed to the cover – the two screw heads show on the back, beside our CREATIF mark – holds the block behind a black card leaf. The rings open: a finished drawing lifts out cleanly, and a new block goes in when this one is full.
Paper and format
50 blank sheets of 200 g/m² watercolour paper. 18.5 × 22 × 4 cm closed, roughly A5, the size that fits a day bag and still gives a usable spread; a little over half a kilo. The same compass with lined pages is the Travel wooden notebook.
