Toddler's Starter Chopsticks

[cstix20000826a - 2000/08/26]. Material: Plastic.

Nationality: Japanese. Source: Santa Monica, CA.

Nationality: Indonesian? Source: Santa Monica, CA.

Mixed Hardwood Chopsticks and Rests

[cstix20000818abcdefg - 2000/08/18]. Material: Scrap Ebony from the manufacture of guitar frets, Rosewood from Costa Rican saw mill scrap piles and domestic woods left over from Tansu Woodwork's larger projects. Description: "Massive" both in length and girth, these chopsticks are square and tapered their entire length to a sharp point. They are not heavy, but these prototypes are imbalanced (back-heavy). You can see by the saw marks in the Ebony how difficult a wood it is to work. The matching ligher wood rests are 'bow tie' in shape with two drilled holes (possibly for inserting the sticks for storage). Length: 27 cm (Rests: 3.5 cm). Nationality: Made in U.S.A.
