PENCIL PUSHER
Beacon’s David Rees pays homage to Hudson Valley artisans. (We think.)
“Just because something makes you smile or laugh… doesn’t mean it’s a joke.”
This koan-like aphorism appears on the front page of artisanalpencilsharpening.com, a website set up by Beacon’s David Rees to promote an unlikely business – pencil sharpening on demand. As a U.S. Census volunteer in 2010, Rees, 39, learned that he enjoyed sharpening pencils more than knocking on doors. “They actually had us sharpen pencils on our first day of training,” he recalls. And so Artisanal Pencil Sharpening was born.
For $15, Rees will hand sharpen a #2 pencil and send it to you in a secure plastic tube, along with all the shavings collected during its creation, and very specific details about its production. My pencil, for example, was sharpened with a knife under natural lighting conditions. And it is very, very sharp.
