I would say that your chop stick is not a chopstick, but the original plant, where it was trimmed.
Unfortunately it is a chopstick. I have sanded it down, tinted it a little, but it is a chopstick that was used to hold the cambiums together when it was grafted...
Aw.. and a question. How this species heals and decay after carving? I know it’s not the coolest on deciduous trees, but sometimes the only solution, like Uro.
Will you carving out?

Yes, I will carve it out eventually.
I really don't know, but I've seen Elms with jin, shari and uros (not that I like them on deciduous, but sometimes it is the only way to disguise an ugly feature).
Just make it as low as you can withou creating a hollow. Then cut the bark all around off for a mm thin strip. That will activate the cambium to start healing again. Add some cutpaste on top, get the plant to grow strong and in a season or 2 the chopsticksite will be closed.
