My pencil had weak lead. I sharpened it to ...

Hi

Could you please tell me the typical way of saying this? Does the underlined phrase work at all?

(When a student has a pencil whose lead keeps breaking and he sharpens the pencil to the very end of this...)

My pencil had weak lead. I sharpened it to the end, but to no avail.

Thanks,

Tom
