How do you make pentagon shape chopstick?

Answer 1

1. Cut the carefully selected wood to the desired size. The wood used is either imported rosewood or ebony.
   
   
2. Shave the wood using a specially designed plain from the Edo period (1603-1867). The artist rotates and gently shears each chopstick countless number of times until it reaches a preferred state.
   
   
3. Once a group of chopsticks are created, they are dampened and spun together to create a unified length.
   
   
4. With approximately seven chopsticks laid side-by-side in one hand, the craftsman polishes the chopsticks into their final shape.
   
   
5. The chopsticks are polished again and laid to dry naturally under the sun for 1 day.
   
   
6. A final polish and buff is applied, thus delivering a distinguished shine that helps to preserve the wood. With time, the chopstick will "age" gracefully and beautifully.
