Y’all why do I fall in love with the most expensive gear!?
This is a Stabilo 8052 white pencil and it’s by far the best marking pencil for dark wood I’ve ever used. It’s clear, smooth, and erases easily.
I need another marking pencil (mine is nearly a nub) but these are $6+ EACH. 😭
Anyone have any other white #woodworking marking pencils they can recommend?
@jamigibbs A while ago I found quite by accident that Derwent watercolour pencils are good for this task, and about a third of the price. Only caveat is that on things like teak and oak it can be a bit harder to clean out of the grain than a waxier pencil which tends not to sink in so far.
@vulgalour ohhh these look fancy too. Right up my alley. 👀
@jamigibbs Builder/contractor friend of mine swears by pica dry pencils. you can get leads of different color including white. first purchase is costly but leads shouldn't be too bad. I am cheap, I would just get watercolor pencils from michaels :)
@jamigibbs Vielleicht hilft das, bis du was passendes gefunden hast.
@jamigibbs I’ve not tried one, but somewhere I heard a recommendation for Prismacolor silver
@jamigibbs looks like you got your money’s worth
@jamigibbs Pricey, but a drop in the ocean compared to the price of the darker hardwoods these days.
