You make the blanks in batch mode, cutting the spline and glue up is done in 3 to 4" wide blanks. then cut and sanded into 7mm squares. That takes about 2 hours for 10 sets.
Shaping the chopstick takes about 10 minutes a set using the chopstickmaster jig I linked to above. Alternatively you could use a flat belt sander but I could not get a good result that way.
Nice thing about chopsticks are that you can use up nice wood scraps that might get thrown away or get tossed into the burn pile.
