What is the Pencil Board?
The Hobonichi pencil boards are specially designed to fit the A6 Planner/Original size, A5 Cousin size, and Weeks size. Keeping it underneath the page you’re writing on allows reinforcement and provides an enjoyable writing experience.
Who is it suitable for?
The pencil board is recommended for users who have filled their inner cover pockets with thick items or users who write with a lot of pressure and leave indentations on the opposite pages.
Good to know
The board has a graph pattern ruled into 5 millimetre squares, with one side further labeled by millimetre to act as a metric ruler, and a 'Today' tab on the corner to mark the current page if you’d like to use it as a bookmark as well.
