PENCIL CARPENTER 2 & SHARPENER (WALDO)

Specific uses for Waldo carpenter’s pencils include:
General marking: Marking lines on rough surfaces, such as lumber, concrete, masonry, or stone, with a strong, dense lead.
Precision and rough lines: The rectangular lead can be sharpened to create either a fine point for precision marking or a wide, chisel-like point for bold, thick lines.
Creating parallel lines: For specific layout work, you can create a notch in the middle of the lead to mark two parallel lines at once, such as for the kerf of a saw blade.
Measurement aid: The flat, rectangular shape of a carpenter’s pencil can be used to gauge or mark standard dimensions, such as a 1/4-inch or 1/2-inch gap.
Won’t roll away: The distinctive flat shape prevents the pencil from rolling off of surfaces, which is particularly useful on angled or unstable work areas like a roof.
