Sketch Pencil Bethlehem Olive Wood

[TonyL]

As the name above says. This is supposed to be one of PSI's Exhibition grades - who knows.

CA finish - 10 coats thin. 2 Coats Medium...you know the rest.

My Bible folks like to use these to make notes in their Bible - that or doodle in it .

All comments welcome.

That's a nice pen. October is pastor appreciation month. I'm think of doing a pen and letter opener in the same for my pastor...

Thank you. Just remember this is a pencil. There is another kit that accommodates both a pen and and pencil refill (but you can't store one refill when using the other). The nib claws work similarly.

Mine take a 2 or 3mm "lead" (no pen refill).

The link below takes a pen or pencil refill. The pencil refill is 5mm, I think.

I made both. Both are decent quality - no customer complaints.

Nice sketch pencil, love turning them and the woodworkers pencil. Beautiful finish, really nice. I have not yet turned BOW, this post is making me rethink that.:biggrin:

I bought both the exhibition grade and non exhibition grade. Between the 5 of each type that I bought, the e-grade seemed to have more figuring. However, I have only purchased 5 of each. It may be too soon for me to make a generalization as to the figuring of the e-grade.

That is one beautiful pencil!

beautiful workmanship love the finish. Although I thing the lead is kinda thick for notes in the Bible but that's just my opinion.

There is a pencil sharpener built into the back of the pencil... unscrew it and sharpen the lead.

The exhibition grade is supposed to be selected by hand for it's extra-fine figuring and beauty ....

I got the 4-pack from PSI, and I ended up with 2 straight grained, 1 diagonal cut, and 1 burl cut ... the burl was just beautiful.

I agree...I gave one has a gift to a printer/draftmans....then he bought one for his wife and one for his. They can do what they want with them . Maybe they own some really big Bibles :biggrin:
