The C.H. Hanson 10316 Carpenter Pencil-Medium Lead is a practical, economy-grade tool built for serious work on wood projects. Crafted from unfinished basswood, this oversized pencil combines durability with a comfortable grip, giving you steady control from first mark to final layout.

Designed with flat surfaces, its broad, non-rolling form sits securely in your hand and stays put on the workbench. That means fewer interruptions to reposition and re-mark, so you can complete framing, cabinetmaking, or trim work more efficiently.

Marking performance is purpose-built for carpentry needs. The pencil delivers clear, medium-dark lines that are easy to follow on raw lumber, plywood, and workpieces in various stages of finishing. It’s specifically effective for:

• Fine lines for detailed molding patterns and profile layouts
• Saw lines and cut guides that stay visible through rough-cut surfaces
• Drill point marks and hardware placement without smearing or fading

What makes this pencil stand out in a crowded toolbox is its simple, reliable design. The oversized body reduces hand fatigue during long marking sessions, while the unfinished basswood keeps sharpening predictable and consistent, so you’re never fighting a dull point at the crucial moment.

Who will benefit most? • Professional carpenters and remodel crews needing fast, repeatable marks on job sites • DIY enthusiasts tackling cabinetry, trim, and framing projects • Students learning layout and measurement techniques who value a dependable, budget-friendly pencil

In practice, you’ll reach for the C.H. Hanson 10316 whenever you need a dependable, easy-to-sharpen carpenter pencil that resists rolling away and delivers clear marks without cumbersome setup. It’s the right-hand tool for keeping lines accurate, notes legible, and projects progressing—whether you’re drafting precise moldings or laying out critical drill points.
