Introducing Blackwing 21 - A Tribute To Woodworking

Shakers were expert woodworkers who saw beauty in the usefulness of the things they made. Simple shapes, solid joinery, and unadorned materials were the foundation of Shaker design. They build a legacy of beautiful and purposeful work for woodworkers to learn from and follow, demonstrating their commitment to craftsmanship, humble practice, and the use of sustainable materials.

Volume 21 Pencils

Volume 21 honors the art and hands of woodworking. The adage “measure twice, cut once” (2-1) encourages woodworkers to slow down, be present, and make purposeful choices. A natural way to inspire all communities.

Each pencil is made with special finger-jointed slats created by combining two short slats. The pencil’s firm graphite is perfect for measuring and marking cut lines, and then re-measuring them.

It also features our first-ever square barrel with an extra wide face so you can see the finger joints on each pencil.

Blackwing Pencil Hat

This adjustable black canvas cap features a pencil loop designed to hold a Blackwing pencil and has the Blackwing emblem in white stitched on its front panel.

Place any Blackwing pencil or our new Volume 21 pencil in the holster, whether you’re in the workshop or out in the field.
