Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Christensen and Burningham, an educator and a crafts editor respectively, have perfected the art of turning finely made pens and pencils. What is more, they have also perfected the craft of written and illustrated instructions; every process is accompanied by color photographs that, alone, explain well the techniques of cutting blanks, gluing in the brass tubes, and sanding, among other steps. Beginning with a good historical survey of writing implements, they first tackle equipment and basic pens and pencils, then cover style, methodology, and material variations. Some of the more unusual inclusions are pens of antler or checkered polymer clay, and instruments embellished by inlay and wood burning. The last chapter offers selling tips, including packaging.
