This class will cover how to safely and effectively utilize a hand plane, a shop-made jig, sandpaper, and food-safe finishes. You will employ these skills in the crafting of a set of chopsticks. Choose your own hardwood blanks for your chopsticks from a variety of wood types. The instructor will address any questions that arise as you work on your project. All materials (hardwood chopstick blanks and finish) are included in the cost of the class

Note: This class has a minimum age of 15.

This utilizes wood from local trees and selected exotic species.

Our Focus on Safety

• Respect the shop rules and safety guidelines before using any tools or equipment.
• N95 masks, safety glasses, and gloves are provided.
• Wear something you don’t mind getting dirty. The glues, paints, and stains we use can permanently stain clothes.

Maximum Class Size

The maximum class size to allow for highly personalized instruction and attention is four (4) people. Let me know if you would like a larger size and we can certainly bring along an assistant to help out.
