Each element, from the wood type to the core hardness, is chosen with practical application in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterial and Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pencils feature a casing made from Grade 1 basswood. This grade of wood is selected for its fine, even grain which allows for smooth and predictable sharpening, reducing the chance of the wood splintering or the core breaking. The oil-based core is formulated to provide rich, pigmented colour on the page. The stated 3B hardness indicates a soft lead that deposits colour readily while still maintaining enough structure for controlled detail work, differing from harder leads used for technical drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSize and Practical Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach individual pencil has a standard length of 176mm.

The full set, packaged in its case, has outer dimensions of 20.5cm by 7cm by 7cm, creating a compact and neat storage solution that doesn't take up excessive space on a desk or in an art bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUses and Placement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Set of 50 wooden oil-based coloured pencils in a case, showing the range of colours.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/250\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/8cc9b1d5-f7a3-4f69-904c-4c94639763f4.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 50-colour range and oil-based core make this set versatile for different skill levels and artistic contexts.
