Handmade Mini Sketch Pencil in Lemonwood with Chrome hardware
Details
This is a mechanical pencil turned out of California Valley Oak with metal components in a chrome finish. The lead used is 3mm and is ideal for broad strokes in a sketch or design. The supplied lead is graphite. The cap is removeable to expose the eraser and contains a sharpener. The total length is 4 1/2".
Lemonwood is not to be confused with the wood from actual lemon trees (Citrus limon), which is not regularly used in woodworking applications. Lemonwood is sometimes referred to as Degame.
A bit about of the process of creating these pencils: I start with a hand-selected bit of wood and the bits that make up the pencil. I then spend some time working the wood to be the proper diameter to match the mechanism. Sand paper is applied, through a number of grits, to get a nice, smooth surface. Several coats of finish are applied and buffed. The wood and metal bits are then combined into a unique item.

Beautiful Scott! This was purchased as a gift for myself - after all, I'm worth it! The quality of workmanship is apparent and I can guarantee this set will never leave my side. I've handwritten more letters and notes in the last four days since receiving this set then in the last year - I can't put them down. I completed a review post on my blog at http://tinyurl.com/6m85apk. Thanks again Scott! CRyan
