We test out carpenter's pencils as art instruments rather than as woodworking tools. We look into their history and try to solve the mystery of why graphite carpenter pencils are flat or square. And how do you sharpen these odd shaped things anyway? This and many more carpenter's or construction pencil tricks are explored in our review of an unusual art tool.

Stationery Test Drive is a free flowing weekly show where we test pieces of stationery we love or find fascinating. We come at each one from our different angles and backgrounds in art, and we aim to try them out and figure what makes them work, or not work, for each of us. Mostly we chat and we scribble.
