I saved my last Woodworker pencil kit for myself.

I had this stabilized box elder burl from William Woodwrite and I knew it had potential.

I was quite happy with the shape and also the figure and character of the blanks, finally something just for me.

I will use it for rough lay outs on boards for my furnituure making.

Great blank and well done. Is that "collar" at the top intentional?

Beautiful pencil Jim. Good for you to hold on to it, I rarely get to keep any of mine. Now in more ways than one it will truly be a collectors item.

Very nice Jim. I would have guessed it was Buckeye had you not said it was Box Elder.
