看看手工制筷的成品如何？（李丹璐 摄）
用传统木工器具自制筷子就没活字印刷那般雅致，每个环节都得用力。刨木头要用力，砂纸打磨要用力，捶打核桃油也得用力。没想到，一双小小的筷子，在品尝世间美食之前，还得经一番捶打瘦身方可“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.
