Place your chopsticks on the stand and use a hand plane to carefully carve them into shape. After carving, smooth the surface and edges with sandpaper to bring out the natural beauty and comfort of your chopsticks. Finally, apply a coat of natural oil to protect and enhance the finish, giving them a soft, polished look. As an optional touch, you can have your name engraved in Japanese making your chopsticks truly one-of-a-kind.
