While I have lots of other pencils, I really enjoy using these because of the unfinished wood

This raw wood with black eraser looks sleek, feels good in your hand, and writes well.

the useless crappy wood used in cheap commie china pencils have the grain the wrong way

The wood is a pretty color as well.

Dense, fine grain wood rather than porous, spongy wood prone to snapping in half.5

The lead rarely chips or breaks, and the wood doesn't seem to split

Nice natural wood look.

I love pencils, and I really love unfinished wood pencils

But as a pencil, the unfinished wood is pleasant to hold

They are made of a nice wood and are perfect for test taking.

After trying all of these brands, I have concluded that GPC is the only brand that will do the following:*Holds a point for long durations of writing*Feel and smell good (natural cedar wood, no chemical

Unfinished wood

These are great REAL WOOD pencils made in the USA!They always sharpen easily and write very nicely

Nice quality wood and smell

The unfinished wood and black ferrule/eraser combination give it a classy, understated look

These pencils were easy to sharpen and write with but not dark enough forcrosswords Though their clean wood appearance and quality of manufacture plusreasonable price means i will order them again.

Love the wood, the lead and the eraser!

The lead works nicely and the wood smells good.

The lead is smooth & doesn’t break easily, the wood feels comfy and the erasers leave the drawing clean

I like the raw wood.

The bare wood feels nice in your hand, gives comfortable grip when writing, and smells good (cedar) when you sharpen them.

The wood is soft and leave nice teeth impression.
