Actually, in a wooden pencil, it's usually blended graphite and clay. In
some of the hi-tech mechanical pencils, it's graphite and polymers, sometimes other pigments replacing the graphite. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Artwork, Books and Lots of Free Info!

With all the talk about lead poisoning in kids, I would tend to doubt it. So, maybe it is the cedar. But I like Steve's theory the best! Diana |
