Beautiful Pencils in Exotic Wood

After coming across these beautiful pencils from Caran d’Ache on the Pencil Talk blog I found myself looking at such a simple writing and drawing tool in a different way. When selecting a pencil it is often the precision and quality that becoming the deciding factors on your choice, but just like the choice between a modern production line sports car and vintage E-Type Jag, sometimes a few flaws give a whole new experience.

Caran d’Ache have tested their ability to create something unique and challenging, producing a range of pencils from exotic wood species, Les crayons de la maison Caran d’Ache, made from Titanium Oak, Macassar Ebony, Lati Gray and American Walnut.

Take a look at the original blog post on Pencil Talk where the reviewer goes into more detail their experience of the pencils, and Caran d'Ache's website here.
