The wood from Ailanthus altissima is light, relatively soft, and easy to work with. While not as dense as hardwoods like ebony or sandalwood, it offers a smooth texture suitable for chopsticks.
The wood is somewhat flexible, but it is not prone to splintering easily when properly processed, making it a durable material for everyday use.
Appearance:
The wood tends to have a light color, ranging from pale yellowish-brown to light brown, with a subtle grain pattern. The surface is smooth, and when treated properly, it can have a polished appearance.
Durability:
Ailanthus altissima is not as resilient or long-lasting as harder woods, so chopsticks made from it require more careful maintenance to ensure they don’t break or wear out quickly.
If well cared for, however, they can still offer a good balance of functionality and beauty.
