Hmmm...I have a pasta machine and an Easy Bake Oven at home. I wonder how many cups of graphite the recipe calls for? I can't get too excited about the WOPEX pencil until I get a chance to try one. The proof is in the pudding :>))). LYRA Colorstripe gets my vote for most innovative woodcase pencil since the advent of Faber-Castell's Grip series of which the Lyra Groove appears to be no more than a concave variation. If it weren't marketed toward children I doubt it would garner any kind of tradefair award at all. The Colorstripe is far more exciting IMHO, every bit as revolutionary as last year's Kuru Toga. They do look like a _____ to sharpen though. Extruded pencils? Hmmm…I have a pasta machine and an Easy Bake Oven at home. I wonder how many cups of graphite the recipe calls for?
