Makers Cabinet Ferrule Cedar Pencils – HB & 2B (Set of 6)
Incense cedar pencils made in Japan by Kitaboshi, cut to 120mm so they seat in the Ferrule without any trimming. Incense cedar sharpens cleanly and smells faintly of the wood as it does — it is the timber good pencils have been made from for well over a century.
Six to a box, in HB or 2B. HB is the everyday grade for writing and note-taking; 2B is softer and darker, and suits sketching and shading. The timber is PEFC-certified, so it comes from forests managed for replanting.

Trade notes
Carry both grades — HB and 2B split by use, writers to the former and sketchers to the latter, and stocking one leaves half the demand unmet. The 120mm cut is the selling point worth repeating: any 7–8mm pencil fits the Ferrule, but these need no trimming. Kitaboshi manufacture is a real draw for a Japanese-stationery customer and worth naming on shelf. Repeat purchase behind every Ferrule sold.
