Turning Custom Wood Pencils on the Lathe

So i am hardly alone in this hobby, but i think how easily I picked up collecting pencils after scoring the massive stash of found pencils.. is I got into turning custom Pens and Pencils about 4 years ago.

Heres some examples of what I have made. Im looking forward to being able to make more but using repurposed Pentel P200 series innards. Or similar.

Definitely a piece I will always have.

would you turn some customs for s20?

I’ve never looked into it to be honest, or have I held an S20 for that matter. But it seems interesting
