The chopsticks are round for a comfortable grip and the smoothness of the wood makes them a pleasure to hold. Each artwork is unique -- wood grain, color, and pattern will differ slightly from picture|Food safe|Hand wash only|Not dishwasher safeAbout our Artist: My name is Sanai Keawchaisa. In 2008, my family and I moved to Chiang Mai and bought a small piece of land not far from the city. Most people in our community work in the wood furniture industry. I started my own woodworking by picking up a piece of leftover longan wood that they dumped, and I chiseled it to form a small bowl shape. I started to enjoy wood carving and began to learn seriously by helping people around my community. I found that there was so much teakwood waste from furniture processing, so I used it to make useful items. Besides leftover wood from the furniture industry, I use wood from old houses or even pigsties, because I believe that every place has history and memories. I do not paint my woodwork because I want each piece to be unique. Some customers love this, but some dont understand and think their piece is not complete. I explain that its from nature, which has beauty on its own, and the customer is proud that they own the only piece of its kind in the world.
