These lovely cedar pencils from Tombow are made from recycled pieces of wood, left over from other manufacturing processes. Minimally finished with a thin coat of transparent lacquer, Tombow Recycled Pencils show off their materials and highlight the finger-joined construction that binds the recycled pieces together.

The HB core is firm and moderately dark, capable of sharpening to a long point, which makes this a great all-around pencil for writing and drawing. It’s tipped with a high-quality black eraser and finished with a classic silver ferrule.

One unsharpened pencil. Also sold in elegant boxes of 12. Made in Vietnam.
