Description
This pencil was made using Olive Wood which is a by-product of the olive growing industry in mediteranean countries. Once the trees are too old to bare enough olives to be economical they are cut down for their wood. The heartwood is a cream or yellowish brown, with darker brown or black contrasting streaks. Colour tends to deepen with age. Olive is sometimes figured with curly or wavy grain, burl, or wild grain. This example has bee sealed with a light coat of polish to protect it from finger marks, but has been kept matt to enhance its natural beauty.
The mechanism used is chrome plated steel with a three claw grip to hold the 5.6mm diameter lead. The claws are extended to release the lead by pressing the knurled top button.
