On the type of board I have on hand, only "scratch board blades" work well.
they are small blades made specifically for scratch board, that fit into the
end of calligraphy pen holders. I would like to know of a board that
scratches more easily, since my student have some trouble with these tools.
I thought I saw some that scratch off with wooden sharp sticks, anyone know
of such a board?
