Recent reviews of Chopstick Woodcarving Workshop
- 5/5 from Laura Shapiro, attended Sep 2026: great class, very hands on and productive and safety-oriented
- 5/5 from Chris Fanjul, attended Jun 2026: Chopsticks: how complicated could it be?? Turns out, just as with salad dressing, doing something simple can be complicated! Or at least very engaging, and the teacher made every step accessible, important, and an opportunity for creativity. We weren't just making skinny wooden sticks, we were learning blade angles, body positioning, plane control. I learned so much in three hours about working with wood, and I've made timberframe treehouses. It was great!
Your teacher
Nihonsan is one of the only brick-and-mortar shops in the U.S. solely focused on selling Japanese woodworking hand tools and hardware. We are also a community offering Japanese woodworking classes, beginners’ kits, Hinoki lumber from Japan, as well as knowledge and guidance through our staff and community partners. If we don’t have what you want, we can probably point you in the right direction to find it. Nihonsan was conceived by Joe Samalin with help from Shuya Iida of Hachi Collections, and his incredible team there. But none of this could have been done without the support and partnership of our incredible community of fellow makers, family, and friends
