The features of the Chrome Mini Sketch Pencil: Mini Sketch Pencil uses a very popular 3mm diameter lead. A special four jaw design at the tip is not only revolutionary, but it also allows you to easily control the pencil or pen mechanism and its placement. Chrome plating provides one of the toughest and longest lasting finishes you can get on a pen today. The end of the push button cap doubles as a sharpener for the pencil lead. The 3mm lead is available everywhere refills are sold, but I also sell it in a separate listing in my store. You are bidding on a hand turned MINI SKETCH PENCIL made from BOX ELDER BURL. I am now using the Super Glue (CA Glue) finish for all my pens. This type of finish is extremely durable and will help keep your pencil safe from water, oil, and the rigors of daily use. It takes a little longer to use this finishing method and costs a little more as well. However, the finish you have on the item when completed, is very similar to an acrylic, and will last the life of the item with no problems. The end cap of this pencil unscrews and doubles as a sharpener for the 3mm lead. The Mini Sketch Pencil is comfortable for any size hand to hold. This item has a ½” diameter at its widest point and is about 4 ½” long. If you would like to purchase a gift box I have several styles that are listed separately that would be offered at a discount if purchased with a pen. Please let me know what style you are interested in and I will send you a quote and information as to which box goes best with each style pen. You will receive the exact item shown. I have been a woodworker for over 20 years, making everything from complete custom cabinetry, to bowls, boxes, and pens on the lathe. However, due to health issues, I now only turn projects on the lathe to give myself something to do for the few hours a day I can stand. When you see pens from other sellers which have the same name, or look the same, the chances are that they obtain their kits from the same sources that I use. Since I do not need to “make a living” at this, I can offer the same product, made with great precision, and generally offer it to you for a much lower price.
