The trick to using a wooden try square is understanding that your work will be more accurate if you only use two reference faces on any board. Never trust that your boards are straight and their surfaces are parallel. You probably know by now that the "level of accuracy unlike all other squares currently available" means wooden squares are terribly inaccurate. But knowing that forces you to use them carefully. With a wooden square you have no choice but to use only two sides of the square, and two faces of the work. You may think buying an expensive square is a better solution. That may be true. But sloppy technique reduces the accuracy of your expensive square and leaves you with joinery that looks like you used a cheap square. So if you want your work to show the accuracy you paid for, work with your try square like it is a wooden try square.
