Many colored pencils are quite soft and will not keep a tip very well for accurate marking on wood. I have found that the <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/verithin\">Prismacolor Verithin pencils<\/a> have a hard lead that holds up well to use in the shop.<\/p>\n<p>Since they come in a rainbow of colors I thought it might be nice to have some variety, so I have tried a range of different options, some shades of red, blue, purple, gold but what I have found is that there are only 3 pencils that stand out for marking on wood, and if I could pick only one pencil to use for all woods it would be the <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/verithin-silver\">Prismacolor Verithin Metallic Silver<\/a> (#753). Its reflective glint helps it show up on all woods, both light and dark.<\/p>\n<p>My second choice all-around pencil is the Verithin Crimson Red (#745). It also shows up fairly well on woods of all shades. The white is good for dark woods, but doesn&#8217;t show up very well on light woods.<\/p>\n<p>Other shades just don&#8217;t seem to show up as well as these on a range of different wood species. I&#8217;ve provided pictures of the pencils marking on Maple, Black Walnut and Honduran Mahogany with comparison to a standard #2 graphite pencil.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visible wood marking<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[19,31],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38304"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38304"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38304\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38306,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38304\/revisions\/38306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
