看看手工制筷的成品如何？（李丹璐 攝）
用傳統木工器具自制筷子就沒活字印刷那般雅致，每個環節都得用力。刨木頭要用力，砂紙打磨要用力，捶打核桃油也得用力。沒想到，一雙小小的筷子，在品嘗世間美食之前，還得經一番捶打瘦身方可“出山”。
Not as elegant as movable type printing, to make your own chopsticks with traditional carpentry tool, you have to put all your strength in every step - planing and polishing the wood, ramming the walnut oil. Can you imagine that? Even a simple pair of chopsticks needs to be put through the mill and then becomes usable.
