Eucalyptus wood 9" chopsticks

These are hand carved chopsticks made from Hawaiian Eucalyptus wood.  This wood's color ranges from a lighter salmon pink to a darker brownish red. Color tends to deepen with age.

These are all truly hand carved.  Once I cut the blanks to size, (9" unless a custom request is made) I use nothing but a thumb knife to shape them, which can be seen in the angles edges and sides.  Most sellers use a chop stick making jig, which is a box designed to shave the sides of blanks into tapered chopsticks that all look identical.  Each of my sets is truly unique, as each knife stroke makes them unlike any other. The blade is so sharp that it creates such a smooth surface no sandpaper is needed before sealing.
These are done individually with me sitting in my garage creating piles of wood shavings between my feet while I listen to cheesy audiobooks about the zombie apocalypse, sci-fi, or some fantasy world.

I have a limited number available of each wood type, and when they are sold out, I do not know when I will get around to making them out of this species of wood again.

Each one of these pairs takes me roughly one hour from start to finish. They are coated with multiple layers of a food safe shellac finish that is 100% waterproof.  If well maintained these chopsticks will last you a very long time. Years of regular usage.  

These are NOT cooking chopsticks.  They can handle lower heat associated with eating, but long term exposure to boiling liquids or a frying pan above 170 degrees will harm the finish.  The finish is food safe  and not a danger, but it can discolor the wood and destroy the waterproof properties.

I can create cooking chopsticks upon request that are larger and with a different finish upon request. 

These are hand wash only.  please check my reviews to see happy customers, and feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
