Expert Commentary
“Although wooden pencils are not as popular as they were in previous decades, they are a must for all households. Unlike pens and mechanical pencils, wooden pencils allow you to sketch, smudge, erase and control sharpness or dullness deliberately. There is no one writing utensil that has exactly supplanted the need for a classic wooden pencil.”
