Sushi set No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

The owners of a local sushi joint take such good care of Mrs. Schwingding and I that I made them a gift. A sushi set made from big leaf maple burl with their logo pyrographed on it. The pyro detail was achievable by using a simple pin point tool rather than more standard pyrography tools and a high powered magnifier. The detail you can get with this method is amazing, but it still makes my eyes bug out. I had hoped to turn the chopsticks but the burl was too fragile to turn that thin, so I cut it on the tablesaw, and tied the whole thing together with the pyro pattern on the ends and the border.

This is displayed proudly at the bar along with my business card, but I didn’t do it for that reason! (yes I have had referrals)

well i am a huge fan of sushi and sashimi but it was the burl that caught my eye. that is amazing! i love it! i certanly couldn’t eat off of it, it’s just too gorgeous but i’d be seriously tempted because a huge part of sushi is the presentation how could anyone not be tempted to eat off something like this? Great Job and thanks for posting it, you’ve inspired me to make my own chopsticks.

Schwing, my head is starting to hurt from looking at all of this great work. Could you possibly throw in a clunker once in a while so we can get a breather? ;-)

That is fantastic – and it’s also fantastic that you have found a Sushi place to call your own. Mmmmm.

I’m glad Karson and Jon visited this project or I would have missed it. I must say, this is one of coolest projects I have viewed. I love sushi and I would love to use this. How did you finish it in case the owners wanted to use it rather than display it?
