Question for pencil carvers -

[Northwest29]

Greetings, I was looking back through a bunch of threads talking about sources for large pencils and it started me to wonder what tools are being used to carve this tiny wonders. I know that Richard "Fly" uses small hand tools to do his pencil lead carvings, but what about you folks that carve the "outside" of the pencil?

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

P.S. Went to searching the web and found this very informational tutorial, for thos that may be interested.

P.S.S. More searching .... if I ever attempt pencil carving I think I'll start with this one and my regular eyeglasses. (-:

Thanks Ron... cool tutorial.
I like my Each detail knife and Dockyard gouges.

I have used a woodburner too... even on the Husky plastic ones.
