1. Take care not to injure yourself with the point of the pencil when cutting out
a recess hole in the rear of the pencil. Excessive force may break the wooden
part of the pencil.

the red line.
4. After opening up this recess, lightly tap the pencil to get rid of any residue left
in the recess hole.

Not doing steps (4) and (6) may cause the wood to break when joining the two pieces together. Adjust the position as needed if the pencil inserted is a little off center from the recess hole. Be aware that the pencils cannot be joined properly when the depth of the recess hole is insufficient. 7. Make sure to use a woodwork adhesive to firmly fix joined pieces into position. Quickly wipe off any excess adhesive on the sides and wait for it to dry. Once completely set, a regular pencil sharpener can be used on the joined pencil.
