‘The Peg and Awl Sendak Artist Roll is an extremely useful and versatile pencil roll. It is beautifully crafted from waxed duck canvas with a vegetable tanned leather strap and is held shut with an antique steel buckle [...]
This larger Sendak Roll seems to be the perfect on location travel companion. I can get a surprising amount of different materials in each compartment. I can even squeeze in two pencils into the pencil pockets if I feel I need the extras. The 4 inside pockets are a great size for a variety of materials.’
