The BEST wood for making a Pencil is California Cedar Wood or called as Inscene Cedar Wood. In the scientfic langauge of Forestry this wood is called "Libocedrus Decurran Torray"... The Pencil wood (Slats) made out of this wood are very expensive and this makes Pencil also expensive!! Mainly SMALL PIECES cut from wood are called "Pencil Slats" and it dimention has to be 5.00 mm (Thickness) X 75.00 (Width) X 185.00 mm (Length) As a result, In Asia (The major contributor in Pencil Production) Pencil makers use some other wood... And thise wood are... Linden(China) Bass wood(China/India) Poplar(India) Jeluthong(M'sia/Indonasia) Vatta(India) Elav(India) Any soft wood, having straight grains, Knotfree, smooth finish, white or pale yellow color can be used for making Pencil.... Have I justified your question? Harshad Raveshia raeshias@hotmail.com

pencil lead
The main body of a pencil is made from soft wood, the 'lead' is made from graphite. The lead can come in many different sizes depending on the pencil holding it.
The wood of a pencil is a renewable source.
The mechanical pencil is more earth friendly because to get regular wood pencils,you have to cut down trees. (wood=trees Duhh)
A pencil is made out of wood and lead (graphite)

Pencil Shavings... They are the little curly wood chips you get when you sharpen a pencil.
It takes multiple countries to make a pencil. For example, the wood may come from one country, the graphite from another, and the metal ferrule may come from yet another country. The components are then assembled in another location before the pencil is distributed globally.
