Yes, that's right, it's a giant pencil sharpener. It won't sharpen your giant pencils...but it will keep all your pens, pencils & other stuff looking sharp on your desk! Made from highly sustainable Rubberwood. After around 30 years of producing natural latex sap the Rubber trees are harvested for their high quality wood & new trees are planted. Since the trees are not felled specifically for timber use, Rubberwood is considered to be ecologically sound, simply using up a waste product of the latex production industry.
