DIY Chopsticks & Chopsticks Rest

I tried making chopsticks and chopsticks rest in a unique way by using an electric drill and an angle grinder .

Step 1: Cut Wood Dowel

Prepare a wood dowel (around φ12mm) and cut the right length. I used a Japanese cypress dowel in this time.

Step 2: Chopsticks

Set the dowel to an electric drill and grind by an angle grinder, then finish with sandpaper. Please refer to the video above.

Step 3: Chopsticks Rest

Do the same process as the chopsticks.

Step 4: Done!

Finish by hand work. I made a different shape of chopsticks rest and applied Urushi (Japanese lacquer) to that rest and chopsticks.
