A vintage oversized American folk art pencil, hand carved in the 20th century from a single solid piece of softwood. Six flat facets run the length of the white-painted body and meet at a carved point, finished with a black painted tip. The round base is left in natural wood, where the grain reads clearly against the painted shaft. Tool marks from the carving show across the surface, so the maker’s hand is part of how it looks.

Lean it in a corner and it becomes a quiet graphic line in the room.
