Just a recipe for heartbreak, that’s all I see.

That, my friend, was one of the funniest posts I’ve read in a LONG time. :-)

Lead pencils contain graphite, not lead.
But it is impressive. I wonder how many angels he can carve on the tip of a pencil?

DANGLERThank you. I thought I was the only one who notices such things anymore.
By the way, it should have read "carved from graphite."
To: DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis
Amazing... Thanks for posting.
I’ve seen similar sized carvings in other, tougher materials....
But I can’t even keep from breaking a simple cone shape on the end of a pencil most of the time.

That is so cool. Thanks for the link and the pictures.

Use a bigger lump of black rock (not lead!) to carve
bigger stuff.

I say to you ... It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a pencil carver to enter into the kingdom of cyberspace.
