These are most elegant men's and woman's two-pair
sets. The woman's pair is flattened slightly to an oval
shape, while the men's pair is nearly square. Both taper
to a flattend point. Sets are available in these six
designs (in Hawaiian woods such as Purpleheart, Ebony
Mahonia Curly Koa and Hala), with a variety of color
quilted batik fabric cases with Velcro closure.

"I recognized that living an urban lifestyle was
not my natural rhythm. My good friend and yoga teacher
had moved to Hawaii where I saw that there was a higher
quality of life. And I had a dream of being a chopstick
maker for real and started accumulating equipment to do
so. After exploring the state, I resonated with the Big
Island, and moved to South Point. I built a small shop
adjacent to my house where I proclaimed to be the
southernmost chopstick factory in the United States." --
