Nobody seems to have addressed the wooden aspect of the word quest. Would "dendropenicologist" sound like someone who collects sex toys? (Not to be confused with piciformes )

Would "dendropenicologist" sound like someone who collects sex toys? Dunno, Penny; but that's not as bad as eta and zmjezhd saying the collectors ought to be called penisologists!

P.S.--I wonder if morrisol will ever come back to see if his question has been answered. Welcome if you do, sir. (No, I don't know the gender for sure; just sounds male to me.)

Nice to see you back again, Penny!

Penci-holic?

Morrisol is defenitely female, and she will never set one foot on this thread again. I'm only dreaming about all those high qualilty pencils and how many drawings one could make with them.

I was in a youth hostel in France and the clerk was thrilled when I gave him my Czech made drawing pencil for his collection. Apparently it was a make completely unknown to him.

I can't laugh, I have dozens of cookie cutters.

Morrisol just makes me think of Marisol, a Spanish girl's name.
I like that name , but of course I can't be sure.
