The idea from Alexandre from London:
The story of the Custom Wood or Bone Chopsticks | Handmade Series:
Negotiation phase
It would also be good to know if there are any chemicals used in the process and if so which one? I just want to make sure the final product would be safe for use.
Thank you!
At by now the only chemical is hydrogen peroxide for bleaching the bone during boiling hours and for potassium as dying agent.Both are purely washed thoroughly until the contents read zero.
Thanks.
Production phase
I have gone through the project page sent. Let me accept it to the fact that the client received his purchased order well.
This is Vicky, the local operations manager. I’ve just received your chopsticks from Dennis, and I’m thrilled to share some photos with you for your review before we proceed with shipping. The chopsticks look wonderful—especially the ones made of bone, which have a particularly lovely feel to them! 😁
I’ve attached the photos below. Please take a look and let us know if there are any adjustments you’d like to be made before we finalize everything for shipping.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Warm regards,
Vicky Achieng
Thanks so much. And glad they feel nice. Now I wish I had gotten more of the bone ones haha.
No adjustments needed so I believe you can now pack and ship.
Best
Alex
