Traditional school pencils aren't ideal for woodworking: the pencils and their leads snap too easily, and the eraser is a joke. After testing many combinations of lead and diameter, this pencil became the shop favourite at Lost Art Press.
Traditional school pencils aren't ideal for woodworking: the pencils and their leads snap too easily, and the eraser is a joke. After testing many combinations of lead and diameter, this pencil became the shop favourite at Lost Art Press. It is robust thanks to its large, round shape, leaves a good dark mark and sharpens easily. Made in the USA to Lost Art Press specifications.
The five pencils come in a neatly fitted box. There is no eraser on the pencil; use a vinyl artist's eraser and you will be much happier with the results.
