Artist sketch pencil made of Cocobolo

An artist sketch pencil, hand-turned from a figured piece of Cocobolo wood. The wavy grain pattern includes points where branches sprouted away from the base log. The reddish chocolate colors swirl with the black end grain of the branch points to give this a very unique set of patterns. The pencil's metal fittings have a chromed finish with a convenient clip to attach to a sketch pad when in between drawings. A black 5.6mm lead is installed in the pencil and 4 color enhancing leads are included for more brilliant artwork potential. Lead refills can be purchased from a craft or artist supply store. This pencil would also work with charcoal or chalk inserts of the same size. It is approximately 5 inches long. Press the top of the pencil to release a mechanism from the nib to insert the lead, adjust its length, or slide it back into the pencil when you are finished sketching. When the lead becomes dull, unscrew the cap to use built in sharpener inside.
