Shoji screens built in Beech with white Warlon insert material. These are installed in tracks in front of window walls and a sliding glass door. There are 17 shoji doors in all so we didn't have the room to lay them out for a picture. You can see the stack below.

 

The shoji doors installed with upper wood tracking and bottom rail door rollers with floor channel from Sugatsune. 

The shoji needed to go to Idaho and since crating this many shoji takes alot of material and effort, we delivered. We needed a break from the shop anyway. Ed built a surround in the back of the van so we could stack them securely and be sure they'd stay in place. Our clients graciously let us stay with them and took good care of us.
We must have been tired since we both totally forgot to get a picture.

We are fortunate to have many repeat clients, thank you!

 Here are two shoji made for a client's new home, built in beech with a beech panel

and our fancy Kumiko pattern 18.  We used 0.45 white Warlon laminated paper 

as "Zack" (a small dog) proofing. 

These shoji fit over sliding glass exterior doors, and the shoji propped in front goes in a horizontal window over the doors.

Most shoji look similar from 10 feet away- color of wood or design will show, but not the quality of construction. So, we included these shots to show some very closeup detail. The pencil point gives some scale- first up are some kumiko ends, note the tiny clean beveling. It finishes the work nicely, the cherry on top, so to speak.

This shows how accurately we inlay Ebony pulls.

Here are some details of the tight joinery in the kumiko grids When we put them together, there is a little click or squeak -they are tight! The camera was about three inches away when these were taken.

Beech shoji screens with 0.45 White Warlon laminated paper and inlaid Ebony door pulls.

 The wood ledger, track and valance assembly.  The ledger screws to the wall , the screw heads will be inside the groove shown in the ledger. Then the valance clips to the ledger with the metal "french cleats". The end of the valance is mitered to return to the wall and cover the end of the ledger and track.   A neat clean system for a barn door type tracking ,where the shoji side over a wall face.

 

The assembly all together, viewed from the underside.

Two of three Beech shoji screens with Beech lower door panels and inlaid Ebony door pulls. Left shoji has the new 0.3 mm Golden Flax Warlon paper and there's Maple Warlon paper on the right. These are pocket door shoji so there's one wider stile on the 'pocket side'.
