Mini sketch pencil
For the 2024 Spring Surprise Swap, I sent Dutchy a faux book, a circle cutter, and this sketch pencil, based on the Penn State kit. The orange was one of the blanks I got in a grab bag from them, matching the orange leather on the book and the national color of the Netherlands.
May you have the day you deserve!

I do not normally like the turned resin pens but this one really stands out.

Love the pattern Dave, is that a 2mm?
Pretty much matches the book, nice color again. A really nice set Dave.
Very glad with this nice pencil. Even though it is beautiful, I will use it in the workshop. Because for me that's where it belongs and where it is used. Also glad it is metric, 3mm lead. That is better than 1/8 isn't it 😉.
Well technically 1/8" is better (bigger) by about 0.007" (sorry, 0.375mm!) 🤠
Of course graphite would be preferable to lead but it just doesn't have that same metallic "twang" when chewing on it.
All my drafting pencils are 2mm which I really like for shop work since the lead doesn't break constantly when marking up a board. 3mm would be even better!

Yeah, 3mm, Splint. Glad you like it, Jan!
My initial though when picking the color was “that’ll be hard to lose in sawdust” but then I realized that orange had more meaning to the Dutch.

Nice blank Dave. I love the colors.
Wild color, good job !!!
What a nice pencil! The color and the lead size are perfect!
The color is the LavaBright orange and black from Penn State.

Great shop pencil! The thicker lead makes a great difference.
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
