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.

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...

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 ?
Sorry to hear about your finger-hope it's healing well.
