Welcome to the first installment of Re-rasable, a new series where we resurface some of our most memorable episodes and interviews from the past ten years.For this inaugural edition, we’re rewinding to Episode 106 and our conversation with Henry Hulan, Chairman of the Musgrave Pencil Company. This interview was a true highlight, giving us a rare inside look at the history and craftsmanship of American pencil-making. Even more exciting, it led to the creation of the Musgrave Single Barrel 106—a pencil made from vintage red cedar and numbered after this very episode!Join us as we revisit this special moment in Erasable history.Links & Resources The Erasable Podcast – erasable.us Musgrave Pencil Company – musgravepencil.com Musgrave on Instagram – @musgravepencil Musgrave on Facebook – facebook.com/musgravepencilIf you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a fellow pencil nerd!

For this shorter episode, we’re fighting our pre-US election anxiety by talking about handwriting in digital notebooks.
