Chopsticks.

I found a few beautiful pieces of wood in and thought I’d make chopsticks for my new found love for sushi

Was I trained in woodworking? No.
Did I care? Not at all.

So I figured it out as I went.

One of the last remaining pieces from the original wood. I found out later that teak is an extremely hard wood to work.

I headed to the lathe

A Few buzzing sounds later…

Pre-polish

Measurement checks

That grain tho

Not bad for a first try
