Great Dave, thanks a mill for the 411 on the pencils... I usually go to Office Max, or Staples for large pencils.. However every now and then at targets they are sold as a novelty...

I'm a new carver and would like to carve some Santas on a large pencil. How Big around are these pencils and how Long are they?

Thanks,

Paul

Welcome Rob, I am going to order a couple next time I place an order with them. Paul, you may want to call TWCS to ask those questions, they are closed on Mondays.

Paul, received mine yesterday. They are Red and come sharpened. Circumference is 1 3/8", from tip to end of wood (under eraser) is 6 11/16", 7 5/8 " overall.

Hope this helps.

Bill
