看看手工制筷的成品如何?(李丹璐 攝)
用傳統(tǒng)木工器具自制筷子就沒活字印刷那般雅致,每個環(huán)節(jié)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(jīng)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.
