Description
The most meta of writing instruments -- a mechanical pencil thatlooks like a standardwooden pencil that's actually made from a standard wooden pencil!First, a jumbo hexagonal cedar pencil barrel is drilled out and fitted witha mechanical pencil mechanism. Next, a brass tip is added for the leadalong witha traditional brass ferrule atthe top of the pencil that includes a replaceable eraser.
The substantial2.0 mm lead yields a satisfyingly broad line and extends with a click of the eraser. A really nice feature is you can retract the lead by turning the pencil upside down, again clicking the eraser, and gently pushing the lead back into the barrel.
5.25" length
