Using the Hovel pencil sharpener

Hovel pencil sharpener.
Typewritten text of the following. GETTING RIGHT TO THE POINT.
I just acquired a Hovel pencil sharpener. It's essentially a small wood plane that you stroke over a pencil's casing and lead. I never was any good at using normal-size planes, so perfecting my Hovel technique is taking a little work. With patience, it's possible to create a longer, sharper point than with most conventional sharpeners. In the photo above, I used a Kum Masterpiece on the yellow Blackwing and the Hovel on the Blackwing 602. Thanks to my pals Andy Pierce and Frank Mariani for letter me know about the Hovel sharpener!
