the Vikingship wasn't from used popsicles, that indeed is the downside to that story. However, someone somewhere else on the big wide internets pointed out that the polyester coat on the chopstick-canoe makes it totally environmentally UNfriendly.

Was the Viking ship made from used popsicle sticks? It's really admirable that Fukushima found a novel way to recycle all those chopsticks.

Seriously? I'd rather have a popsicle stick Viking ship than a chopstick canoe.

Creative, useful, and the chopsticks really made for a lovely overall appearance! I've definitely gotta hand it to the guy; this is a fantastic piece of work.

This was such a good idea. It probably was the most tedious task ever, but dang, that's cool.

This is an absolutely amazing use for recycling others' trash. It's what I love to do, but I haven't built anything this incredible yet. All of my stuff is simply artwork! Great work!

This is pretty cool! However, I would have a hard time justifying "dumpster diving" for chop sticks on a daily basis. I'll stick with shopping at REI.

Wow! That's totally cool! My dad built a canoe out of strips of wood when I was a kid, but CHOPSTICKS? Now that's unique!

Pfah, a canoe, amateurs... what about a vikingship (!) made from popsiclesticks? It went on a journey from Holland to Amerika yesterday http://www.nu.nl/news/1513351/122/rss/IJsstokjesboot_vertrokken_naar_A merika.html
