Tree-friendly Pencils
obon We love our new O'BON line of pencils and paper!!

For over 400 years, the pencil has been made in the same way.  Take some graphite and surround it in a wood casing.  Two pieces of wood are grooved so that the graphite fits snuggly in.  Glue is applied and the two pieces of wood are put together.  The problem is that there is almost always an air gap between the two pieces of wood and the graphite.  So, when you drop the pencil,  the delicate and brittle graphite often breaks inside.  Thus, when you sharpen a wood pencil, you often have problems with the graphite being broken.
At O'BON  we take layers of newspaper, and flatten it and cut it to the right width. We then apply a thorough coating of water-based glue as we wrap the graphite.  We wrap it 36 times.  After it is air dried and then heat dried, the newspaper hardens without any air pocket.  Without air pockets, our pencil graphite is nearly impossible to break.  OBON pencils usually will last 3 times longer than wood pencils.
 
Ugly Dolls are re-stocked!
