Mari, I came up with another mahl stick for oils, just a long dowel rod with a tapped hook on the end, but I notice the way you have yours in your image, do you find it scratches off the paint on the top? My easel that I usually keep my working pastels on has the larger wood holder on the top, so it would be easier to rest on that, than the one I am currently using. Was the eraser just to keep it from slipping?
