The business began by turning local red cedar into pencil slats, including wood recovered through exchanges with farmers for their old rail fences. Today, the family-owned company continues pencil manufacturing in Shelbyville, supporting local manufacturing skills and jobs. Its commitment to domestic production includes transparent acknowledgment that components come from both domestic and global sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePre-Sharpened Colored Pencils, 12-Color Set\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart a sketchbook page, coloring project, or classroom activity with a coordinated set of 12 colored pencils.

Start with light pressure, then build additional layers where you want more color. Try overlapping two shades on a spare sheet to see the result before applying them to the finished piece. Arrange the pencils in color order or return them to the box between sessions so the full palette stays easy to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:USAGE:END --\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:CARE:START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eResharpen with a suitable pencil sharpener as needed, using gentle pressure and removing only enough wood to refresh the point. Keep the pencils dry and protect their tips in a box or pencil case. Avoid drops, bending, and crushing pressure during storage or travel. A damaged core may break during later sharpening even if the barrel looks intact. These are general care suggestions rather than a manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:CARE:END --\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:SHIPPING:START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping for this item\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusgrave’s public FAQ says domestic shipping can take up to five business days, with possible delays, and rates depend on destination.
