Natural-cut Ebony Chopsticks
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010
Fits so naturally in the hand, you hardly notice you’re eating with chopsticks. Transport yourself through time: early chopsticks must have had a similar look and feel.
Featuring a rough yet elegant texture, these hand-carved ebony creations make a captivating statement at the table. Great to have around for entertaining.
Details include:
Fits comfortably in the hand of the user, extremely well balanced.
Completely hand crafted from ebony using traditional methods perfected over 80 years.
Length: 23.5cm (9.25″)
Preferably hand-wash, although dishwasher safe
Set comes with a hand-carved wood chopstick stand.
Handmade smoked bamboo carrying mat available (highly recommended).
Remarkable craftsmanship. A pair of chopsticks designed to last a lifetime. How the chopsticks are made:
- Cut the carefully selected wood to the desired size. The wood used is either imported rosewood or ebony.
- Carve the wood until it reaches a preferred state.
- Once a group of chopsticks are created, they are dampened and spun together to create a unified length.
- With approximately seven chopsticks laid side-by-side in one hand, the craftsman polishes the chopsticks into their final shape.
- The chopsticks are polished again and laid to dry naturally under the sun for 1 day.
- A final polish and buff is applied, thus delivering a distinguished shine that helps to preserve the wood. With time, the chopstick will “age” gracefully and beautifully.
