i like to draw pics of cats and sunsets and occasionally my beautiful grandkids, i’m thinking of upgrading to a german made slow-grown hardwood stick that’s been hand turned by black forest dwelling artisans, i don't think the nordic pine sticks have that special something i see on 800x500 images on StikPix. it’s a big investment now i’m retired from my legal practice so i’m wondering if there are any other users out there who have made the jump? and if they have any regrets?
