OK, I had to see how he would do that, but was not expecting this. tl;dw: He cuts them into convenient length, then embeds them en masse in carnuba wax, to form a block of composite material. He then "cuts" this to shape, except he does it by drilling pencils out (which looks easier and safer than using a saw on that stuff) and some sort of excavating grinder. The result looks pretty good, and he handles it like it's light.

I think the "excavating grinder" you're talking about is a router or a router table.“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers
