• Find your favorite tree
• Choose your favorite piece from over 10 different types of wood. Each type of wood has a different color, weight, and texture. Try them out and compare them to find the one that feels right in your hand. The time spent deciding which wood to choose is part of the fun of this experience.
• Let's shape it by filing it down (using a plane and file).
• The selected wood is gradually shaped into chopsticks using a plane. This is a popular step where you can enjoy the satisfying feeling of carving wood and the sensation of watching the shape change. The finished product will vary depending on the amount of pressure applied and the angle, so you can feel the joy of creating something with your own hands. Even if it's your first time, our staff will support you, so you can rest assured. After the shape is complete, the surface is smoothed with sandpaper. Careful polishing results in chopsticks that are comfortable to hold and easy to use.
• Finishing (engraving, oiling)
• For those who wish, we can engrave your name or any letters or numbers as an option. It makes a unique pair of chopsticks, perfect as a memento or souvenir. The final oiling enhances the wood's natural beauty and makes the chopsticks even easier to use. You can take your carefully finished chopsticks home with you.
