Nice work on them fancy eatin sticks Rasmus

[John Keeton]

I am betting that is a lot harder than it appears!! Nice combo of woods - really well done!

[Curt Fuller]

Those are really nice! Are they somehow doweled through the aluminum slice?

[David E Keller]

I love them, Rasmus. I definitely have chopsticks on my list of things to do. I hope mine turn out as well as yours did.

[Terry Murphy]

;)What Mr. Keeton said!

Thank you for sharing.

[Ted Calver]

Really beautiful!! Is there a flat spot to keep them from rolling?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Rasmus - Long time! I am guessing that you have been really busy turning!

Great work on the chopsticks! You show a lot of precision in getting each of these the same! They all look great and I really like the slice of aluminum between the 2 woods!

Very nice work! Thanks for sharing!

Chopsticks!?!? Somehow I never have thought of chopsticks being made on a lathe. But I guess it makes sense. Kind of like making miniature baseball bats. Those look awesome. I hate to admit this in public but we eat a lot of sushi at my house. We love sushi. My daughter and I even make our own sushi sometimes. And we always have chopsticks at hand even though we always eat sushi with our fingers. But I would love to have chopsticks that nice laying there to look at while we eat.

I also hate to admit that I have never been able to make even two identical pieces. So my hat's off to you on that score alone...

24? You must be expecting a large crowd for dinner? LOL They are really great looking and very consistent in shape and size. Well done.

[Rasmus Petersen]

thank you all :)

John : It is, and isent. its all in the preparations, patience and practice.. (uhh the 3 P´s)

Curt : they have a piece of threaded rod 3 mm i the section between the 3 elements.

Ted : no no flat spots. i will be making som holders, small pive with a groove for them to lay on besides the plate.

Steve : I have and i havent, been out since march 4´ when i ran my finger thoug a tabelsaw. it´s still there but its not pretty, infection and what have we. but in back..

Thanks all :)

Beautiful work Rasmus. I did some recently, but not as nice as yours. Could you give a little more information on how you put these together please ?
