Freehand Carving Personalized Walnut Chopsticks (with video).

Welcome to my “Learning Center”. This is for paid subscribers only and reveals my method of carving names that has evolved over the last 43+ years. Here, I will show you how I freehand carve names into wooden chopsticks and keychains.

Also, I will post excerpts of my upcoming eBook as it develops. Tentatively named “Free-Hand Carving Wooden Names for Fun and Profit”, I hope to publish it mid-2026.

Letter Class: IZZY Chopsticks

Today we have an order for a pair of chopsticks to say IZZY.

I start with two matching billets of light-colored Walnut, approximately 3/8” x 3/8” x 8 1/2”.

I mark off the letter placement with shallow saw kerfs, about a blade width deep.
