**** RAW COPPER PENCIL BODY ****
This is a handmade 2mm Mechanical Pencil made by Placid Crafts. This series has all the features you look for in a heavy lead pencil. It features a top click lead advance, replaceable eraser, built in lead sharpener, sturdy pocket clip, and a hex grip. The hardware on this pencil is 24 ct. Gold, and the body is raw copper with no Lacquer, or coating at all and will patina with age to take on the antique look that is so popular right now. The copper rod is cut to length, drilled out and a brass tube glued in. From there it is turned in a metal lathe to shape and size then sanded and shined. The pencil is 6" long with the lead out, ready to write. I would consider this a standard to larger diameter pencil because the pen body is .460. This is a heavier than normal pencil because of the copper body. The 24 ct. Gold hardware looks great against the copper for an aged look. This pencil also comes with two tubes of 2mm X 3-1/2" leads with five leads in each tube. We are also adding a five pack of white refill erasers. Additional refill packs are available in our store. Make no mistake, this pencil is very unique. It has no lacquer, sealer, or acrylic covering. This pencil will Patina as raw unprotected copper will. New as it is, it is shiny and a light almost pastel pink color, but it quickly starts turning dark, as shown in the photos. This pencil is made of soft metals and will scuff up, scratch and age as raw coppers will. It will take on an antique look as it ages and that is the theme of this series. / #341
RAW COPPER /NOT POLISHED / NO FINISH / NO LACQUER
NO PROTECTION / PATINA WILL PROGRESS
THE UNPROTECTED FINISH PATINAS AS IT AGES.
Patina is a Progressive Process, Not a Finish... THE FINISH IS RAW COPPER........it will not stay shiny as it comes unless you clean it from time to time. if you get more patina than you like simply clean the pen with some Never Dull and start over. This is not sold as a patina pen. The finish is raw copper, and Patina is a process that WILL happen to this pen. We have buyers that are disappointed if the pen comes like new (less patina) because they like the patina, other buyers are disappointedif the pen comes with more patina than pictured. Yet others say they like the way it came but just keeps getting darker..... Yes, it is a process. Personally I love the patina.
