Pencil Components










Moisture Content

Wood slats absorb and release moisture in the form of water vapor in conjunction with changes in the temperature and relative humidity of the environment in which they are stored. If the moisture content of slats are not at equilibrium just prior to use, two slats glued together into a sandwich may absorb or release moisture differently, causing warped, or "banana" pencils. To allow slats to achieve moisture equilibrium, Cal Cedar recommends that its slats be stored in the same conditions as the manufacturer's facility for at least two weeks prior to use.
