About this Workshop
In two days, students will build two figured walnut sushi boards and six pairs of chopsticks, a complete set for the table. These boards are small pieces with nowhere to hide. Their beauty comes from proportion, grain, and a clean surface rather than joinery or hardware. Students will select and orient their stock, shape each board with legs and an integrated rest for the chopsticks, add an edge treatment, and apply a food-safe finish. Then they will make the chopsticks on the Bridge City Chopstick Master, a jig that turns a square blank into a tapered chopstick with a formed finial. Students will make six pairs using material provided in the Chopstick Master kit and leave knowing how to make more at home. The class suits every skill level. Beginners will leave with finished work they can be proud of, while experienced makers will have room to explore figure, inlay, and carving.
