Wow — the chopstick orders have been rolling in!  It seems that everyone wants handmade chopsticks for stocking stuffers this year.  Mostly people are jumping on the cherry chopsticks, but I prefer the unique peach and apple wood chopsticks.  They’re a little different and make great hairsticks too!  Oh, the wood also comes from the peach and apple trees in my front yard — can’t get more eco-friendly than that!  We don’t use any pesticides and he hand-carves the darn things.  There’s also the fabulous purpleheart chopsticks.  Purple heart, as I’ve learned is an African hardwood that is naturally purple.   It’s definitely one of my favorites, because until Art started using purpleheart I never knew wood could be that color!

Of course Art also makes other spiffy things, but lately it seems like he’s just sitting in his shop making chopsticks!
