Kwila Dovetailed Pencil Holder
“Very simple, very elegant design. Beautiful handcut joinery, especially on such a small scale and with the number of dovetails that you have. Very simple, very pretty piece.”
This pencil holder was a delightful exercise in dovetail joinery. Hand-cut dovetails are featured with a total of thirty-six pins and thirty-six tails adorning the corners of this diminutive piece.
The very thin sides and bottom are made of off-cuts from the “Building a Mystery” buffet cabinet, showing how adaptive this natural material can be when used in pieces of vastly different scales.
