Shapes.....

[PenWorks]

Well I guess this was a week for pencils,
here are some Sketchers & Carpenter pencils,
Some are more shapely than others
Thanks for looking, comments allways welcome....

Anthony,

Great work as always!

I really like the differing shapes. That kit for me is a struggle to make look and feel right. You have given me a few ideas. Thanks for sharing.

I likes the Olivewood. I have ran out of the Artist Pencil kits for now. When I can afford it I will have to make a couple out of Olivewood. Just need to get out there and sell some more so I can buy some kits. Heck I am feeling like a pen junkie needing a fix/kit---hehehehe

Looks good, great spalted wood. I like the look of the one that resembles a honey server, I think it's cocobolo but I'm not sure, anyway, it looks nice.[]

Your right James, it is kind of a bulky lil thing. The best feeling ones to me are the top left and bottom left. Plenty of room to rest your thumb and have control of the pencil. The one cut B2B feels the worse. Like it wants to slide out of your hand and you have nothing to grip but the barrel.

Thanks for the comments.

Gary, I am cutting all this FREE BOW I won from the charity pen contest [] You know how nice that free wood cuts []

I agree with Fangar, deciding on a shape for these pencils is a bit difficult for me. Thanks for sharing and as usual, great job on all of them. I ordered some of the kits but did not order the bushings. Does the woodworkers bushing work on these newer kits? Guess I could try myself and see, couldn't I?
Do a good turn daily!

Why would you go threw all that trouble and try the bushings, when you can just ask someone []

Of course they won't work ! [xx(] You need to buy bushings and another bit, or maybe Frank has a drill bit he can lend you [] I hear he is starting to get a collection of bits []

When I put the pencils up in the store this morning, I noticed something, the Original Woodworkers pencil from CS was longer than the Sketcher & Deluxe pencils, but the woodworkers pencils I finished last night were the same size as the Sketchers. I feel cheated [] The mechanism is clearly 1" shorter than the original, when did this change occur ? and why ? That was one of the big differences between the two was the length.
