It starts with a block of cedar which is then cut into slats.

The slats are then stained and grooves are cut into one surface.

Prepared leads are placed into the grooves and a second slat is placed on top and bonded with the first.

This 'pencil sandwich' is then passed through a milling process to separate the individual pencils.

The pencil is painted and finished, a ferrule crimped onto the end, and finally, an eraser is crimped into the ferrule.
