Dozens Gather To Watch Sharpening Of Giant No. 2 Pencil
A large crowd turned out Saturday to see a new landmark in Minneapolis — a giant pencil near Lake of the Isles.
John Higgins, a homeowner on East Lake of the Isles Parkway, commissioned an artist to turn his damaged bur oak tree into a 20-foot-tall No. 2 pencil. The work is called the “Loti Tree.”
“We thought let’s do something basic, simple that we can execute, but something that’s classic,” Higgins told WCCO last month.
The tree was severely damaged during a 2017 thunderstorm. Higgins said losing the old oak tree was like losing a friend. However, with some encouragement from the community, he decided to turn the stump into a work of art.
David Reese, an artisanal pencil sharpener, was among those who gathered to see the finished work on Saturday.
What the actual hell is an "artisanal pencil sharpener??"

Somebody who unexpectedly pulls sharpened pencils out of his bottom?

No, the artisanal pencil sharpener mentioned in the story is from NY. He just traveled to Minnesota to see the unveiling of the giant pencil…. Now that doesn’t mean you don’t have professional pencil sharpeners, but the one from the story is a tourist.
What Minnesota DOES have is a growing list of oddball tourist Meccas

Yes, we encourage oddball tourists. It helps to make the rest of us feel more normal.
