I'm starting to think about holiday shopping. I have a relative who loves natural, unpainted, wood-case pencils.

She uses them more for writing than drawing. Any recommendations?

Thanks

I'd nose around this place -- if they don't have it, it may not exist...

Derwent's not there, and they've existed for 180 years. ;) Not, I hasten to add, that Derwent carries any natural casing pencils afaik, so not relevant in the OP's case. Just, you know, maybe don't lose heart if you can't find it there.

Is https://pencils.com any good? They seem to have quite a range. Almost certainly exactly what you don't have in mind, but these (https://pencils.com/product/caran-dache-swiss-wood-348-pencil/) are kinda cool.

I did, before posting, but I was hoping someone might have specific recommendations, since there are a lot of manufacturers.

I like what I've gotten from both cwpencils and pencils.com.

What about "The Perfect Pencil (http://www.fabercastell.com/design/products/perfect-pencil)" or even the upscale version (http://www.graf-von-faber-castell.com/writing-instruments/perfect-pencil)?
