The fused seams are actually pretty subtle once you start writing—I keep looking at them because it’s such a clever way to reuse offcuts. The cedar smells amazing and the vermilion red is a rich, warm shade that stands out on my desk.

I wasn’t sure how the fused cedar seams would feel in hand, but they’re invisible when you write—the wood is smooth and the vermilion color is honestly gorgeous. They sharpen to a fine point without snapping, which is more than I can say for most pencils these days.

The fusion of salvaged cedar strips gives each pencil a subtle grain shift that makes every one feel like a tiny, unique sculpture. They sharpen cleanly without splintering, and the vermilion red is rich enough to make my notes pop without bleeding through the page.
