Yes, I already cut a square of 600 grade for the Stadtlers. And the carpenter sharpener (that's fun to say) comes with an emery board on its side.Denny wrote:final shaping with sand paper

Re: Music Pencils
I know I'm going to regret saying this for the rest of my life. But Denny, you may be a genius. The carpenter's pencil works very well indeed for music notation.
