Workshop Pencil/Droplead Pencil

I've been looking at buying a droplead pencil for quite a while now, I almost bought one at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, but didn't. Then I thought Why don't I make one? I had a look at the pencil kits and saw a 'Workshop Pencil' kit. It looked like a droplead pencil, so I ordered one. i had some purple acrylic so I made this:

I really like this pencil, it's smooth to write with and there's plenty of lead laid down when writing (the lead is 5.6mm dia).

Due to thinking I'd lost part of the kit I ordered a second kit, so I can make another one. Hmm. Green?
