“Sara” is a Japanese word for “dish” or “plate.” Many sara are round-shaped, but they also come in a variety of shapes like square, or long and narrow.
I make sushi but haven't had any for a while. Just recently we started eating all kinds of sushi again.
Then it dawned on me I could make my own "Sara" or sushi plate. It's made out of Pine. Shellacked and a couple of coats of wood butter.
In addition, I made the chopstick stand known as the "hashi-oki" chopstick rest. Sometimes also referred to as a "hashi-makura", or chopstick pillow. .... and I made the chopsticks as well!
On the ends, I chiseled in some stopped chamfers so it's easy to pick up and the legs are full length sliding dovetails.
All in fun. I'm sure I'll be asked to make more. LOL.
