The Blackwing Pencils Volume 21 pays tribute to the quiet discipline and timeless elegance of Shaker woodworking—an approach grounded in craftsmanship, clarity and a certain mindful patience. In honour of the Shakers’ devotion to simple, purposeful design, each pencil is created from special finger-jointed slats, joining two shorter pieces of wood with beautifully visible precision. This edition also debuts Blackwing’s first-ever square barrel, giving you an extra-wide face that proudly showcases those joints while offering a comfortably stable grip. Fitted with firm graphite, the pencil excels at marking cut lines, jotting measurements and—true to the old adage—checking them once more before you commit.
