Your host guides you individually from start to finish, and all tools and materials, including sanding and oil finishing, are provided.

Choose from two wood types to begin

Pick one of the two included wood types. Each has its own color, grain and character. If you prefer, you can also choose a premium wood, with prices varying by type.

You also hear about natural wood and Korean dining etiquette.

Carve, smooth and finish with oil by hand

Following your host's guidance, carve the chopsticks, shape them and sand them smooth by hand. Watch an ordinary piece of wood gradually turn into usable chopsticks.

Applying the finishing oil brings out the wood's natural color and grain. You can also try a bean-picking challenge with practice chopsticks.

If you like, add a name, date or short message to personalize your chopsticks. Personalized laser engraving costs an extra KRW 10,000 per pair. You take your finished pair home as a keepsake.
