My take on a giant chopstick

[mwar15]

I Use a chopstick for poking soil into the roots of trees but my mentor has a similar tool and I love it so I made this one.
It is African rosewood, Mango and Purple Heart wood. It is about 12" and 1"

pretty!

Gives you better grip then just a chopstick?

I use this first then a chopstick, I feel like this works better, more than anything it's prettier

Long-time gardeners call that a dibble. Great tool.

Nice looking and should outlast you! The dibble jkl refers to is normally a t-handle with a good size length and taper but is used for planting seeds and bulbs. Good ones are calibrated so you can get a consistent depth. The tool you made therefore is quite different and very nice.

Anyone seen my pool cue? Pretty fancy, but I'll stick with the carryout choppers'.....nice work though.

I guess there are dibbles and then there are dibbles; the one I've used for decades looks remarkably like this one.

I found that interesting enough to do a few quick searches So far I find they can all be called a dibber, dibble, or dibbler and there are actually three common types. Those are straight, t-handle, and trowel. Dibber trivia!

I thought a dibbler was a Dr. Suess character all this time.
