Popular Post Blaughn Posted December 3, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Finally finished. I found working with the red oak to be extremely difficult for achieving the lacquered finish on top. The three on the right are red oak with walnut inlay. The other 3 are white oak with Jaboba wood inlay. The interiors each contain a Pentel .5mm and .7mm "Quicker Clicker Pencils", spare lead for each, spare erasers for each plus a Staedler eraser and an eraser template held by a magnet in the cover.

FrankEV Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Beautiful, simply beautiful! All 6 grandkids must be Artist, Draft Persons, Engineers or Architects....right ?????? I used pencils and one of those metal erasing shields for many years in my engineering carreer until the pencils were replaced by computers.. Didn't need to use it on a PC screen .

jerry walters Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Those are simply beautiful Bruce. This is a gift that will be cherished forever by your grandchildren. I remember when I was 9 or 10 years old my grandparents gave me a Sheaffer ink pen and pencil set. Don't think ball points were invented then. I know longer have the pen or pencil, but I do still have the bottle of ink the came with it. I remember too, the pencil used thin lead. Now in my 80's and remember how excited I was.

They were fun to make. The grandkids are all "Pre-career" but love to draw and design. I am trying to feed their creative hunger with non-electronic solutions.

I used tools inherited by their other great grandfathers and their great great grandfather. The note in the box goes into all of that so there are some unique details I hope they will appreciate.
