Dalton Ghetti of Bridgeport, CT, has been carving sculptures into pencil lead, without the aid of a magnifying glass, for 25 years. Here is one of his most interesting pieces.
Thanks to Garth in Colorado Springs
and Rich in Spokane for the "tip."

Incredible - enough said!!!
Wow! Amazing eyesight and what talent, I have tried carving and it takes a certain kind of knack (which I don't have) but to do it that small and look incredible, my lid (hehe) off to you!
OMG, that's amazing! I know someone who does woodcarving and gets those big pencils to carve Santas & face into them. But the lead? That's got to be difficult given it's size and how soft it can be. What kind of tools do you need for this?
Amazing! How can this be done??
Incredible! I cannot begin to fathom how you can do that, and with no magnifying glass!
Incredible...
Amazing! To create such incredible sculpture is impressive enough...to do it on such a small scale is just beyond belief! This guy must have some incredible patience!
Wow!! The newer generation pencils are made from graphite...a very soft material. Even with a sharp exacto knife, such detail would be next to impossible for most people! There has to be some laser system being used here? Either way....the guy who can do this is a talented person indeed!!
