Gray Rod Shaped Stones

The packaging says 'charcoal' but it's nothing more than a rod shaped gray stone. It's nowhere near black. Seriously, if you're thinking of doing some serious charcoal work, don't worry.

Pros
  • Grab a Derwent handle to keep the block stable
Cons
  • New Competitors Have Arrived

Pros
  • Purely recycled charcoal creates deep, dark tones
Cons
  • Subtle
