El lápiz

The pencil is part of our lives. With it we have learned our first lessons

letters and we have formed our first words...

Several types of wood are used in

the manufacture of pencils like cedar,

Pine, juniper, linden, and fir. But the wood

which is used to make quality pencils

It is the cedar one, the "Incense Cedar",

It is also known as "Calocedron",

"Libocedro" or "California Cedar" region of the United States where it is native.

When we are handling good

pencils, that wood produces a sound

special and it has another characteristic, it smells

in an exquisite way, that smell that we

transports us to our first

school experiences.
