Woody

A lovely Sapele shoji screen in our pattern 18 with Warlon “waterfall” paper.

We put a darker background here on the right, to show the paper fibers better.

And a closeup. The end of every kumiko piece is carefully beveled.

The sapele has a beautiful silky ribbon grain.

The pull, carefully cut into the frame.

These photo’s show the track mounting ledger (the light-colored board) the track, and the Sapele valance with a mitered end to wrap around to the wall. The other end will terminate into a perpendicular wall. (all these photo’s are inverted as the parts are laying on a table.) Note the metal “French cleats”, after the tracking is mounted the valance will simply clip on with no screws or nails.
