Been meaning to mention that I like these new bamboo stirrers like the ones they use at Panera for many craft projects. They are way tougher than traditional wooden ones. I have used them for a wedge recently when stringing a resonator uke to facilitate a tight string/bridge fit. I'm sure there are many other uses in the shop for them that the soft wooden ones won't work.
