I already use chopsticks as pegs in my wood working, I use the tapered drills out of cheap countersink sets and the various sections of the chopsticks correspond to the different size drills. you can buy cheap chopsticks in not only bamboo but wenge and oak on eBay. I can not be critical of this bridge city tool purchase as I bought one of the tapered Japanese drills for their pegs at a cost of Au$43.00. I still feel guilty when I use it.
The wenge ones look very classy - you'll be the envy of all the other patrons in your local asian food eatery (I presume the term "chinky" isn't sufficiently PC these days...?).
Share prices of large chopstick making companies worldwide have plummeted since fletty arrived on the scene........:D
Think outside the square... Bamboo, Wenge, Oak... yes, they're on E-Bay. And they're all NON-AUSTRALIAN timbers.
Blackbutt, Ironwood, Spotted Gum... make some chopsticks from those timbers. Ding up a fancy looking website that uses the term "bespoke chopsticks" and other such terms liberally.
Pretty unique product IMO :)
Good call MM, the cheque’s in the mail! I’ve just come in from the Studio ( uhhhm shed) having finished a new pair of chopsticks which will be the flagship product of my new strategy for global chopstick dominance!
An iconic Australian timber which, when finished with my secret poultice, looks like ivory! Oh I’m going to have trouble sleeping tonight......

But midnight man, I did not think chop sticks were allowed to put splinters in your mouth , lips or tongue. Each time I work with any of those woods I end up with lots of splinters. All the best.
Spotty will be ok for them.
I was there when the secret poultice was applied to a ****** Pine prototype. The product was the goods!
Now I happen to know that Bushmiller has gawd knows how many cubes of Spotty, and we may see him sooner than we think....
I wonder how many choppies can fit into a 20' container??? S'bout time we sent a full one back to China, don't you think? (And no, don't even THINK about the economies of a 40' container!).
