Amazing

I occasionally listen to a game show on NPR called Ask Me Another.  The most recent episode I listened to spotlighted a PROFESSIONAL PENCIL SHARPENER.  My first thought was, how bad can the economy be if one man can make a living sharpening pencils! At thirty-five dollars a pop!

Anyway, they always play a game with their invited guest, and have someone for that person to play against.  This time they introduced a man named Dalton Ghetti and when he explained HIS job, I had to look it up.  He carves pencil lead...

 

The Alphabet

How did he DO this?

 

I suppose this one is for John.

An Elvis for my mom...

And a few tools for my dad

And one for me, because I love giraffes!

There are many more amazing works of art...just google carved pencil lead and be amazed...
