Fisher Wells' traditional silverpoint tool. Fine silver rod set into a beautifully hand-turned wooden holder made in Victoria from high-quality reclaimed timbers including applewoo d, walnut, and spotted gum, resulting in uniquely beautiful grains which develop a patina over time.Silverpoint drawing is made by dragging the silver across a surface prepared with zinc or titanium white. The initial marks of silverpoint will tarnish to a dark brown tone over a period of several weeks as it bonds with oxygen and airborne sulfur compounds. Show more
