I have tried many brands of chalk during my 35 years of teaching, and this chalk is by far the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars A valuable woodworking tool..., December 22, 2004

KRASSEL (SPANAWAY, WA USA) - See all my reviews

Yep, I use chalk a lot in my woodworking. If you don't mark the pieces clearly, you will end up with a box front upside down or cut the miters on the wrong side. Marking with a pencil on dark woods is hard to see and pencils make a mark in the wood that is hard to sand out at times. Crayons leave a wax behind that can interfere with your final finish. I find that these inexpensive chalk sticks are the way to go. Very easy to see, they have prevented quite a few "disasters", and after that final assembley the chalk wipes right off. You can even lay a piece on its side, run it down the length of the wood and define those "low" spots. I also use it to mark the specie's of wood on rough piece's I bring home, especially the exotics.
Recommend to all woodworkers.

This review is from: Prang Hygieia Chalk, 3.25 x 0.375 Inch Chalk Sticks, 12 Count, White (31144) (Office Product)

Absolutely love this stuff! Reminds me of the high-quality chalk the teachers used back when I was in grade school. Writes REALLY nice, even on our old beat up chalkboard.

Wholeheartedly recommend this product.
