Custom Shoji Screens
Custom Shoji - 9.5 by 3 feet - in unfinished Sapele and 2.0 mm White Unryu Warlon Acrylic.
Client is finishing these on site. And then there's the monster crate, a weighty shipment.


Client install - MN

Custom Shoji Screens
Remodel complete - our client was kind enough to send pictures of his Shoji screens installed. I really like the different wood tones in the room and how they complement each other.

Krinsky

12 screens for a yoga/zen/judo teaching center.  Well, 13 actually - we often run a few extra parts in case we lose one in manufacturing, and in this case, had enough to build an extra screen- might be useful to have around if those martial arts people get wild!

These screens have a nice proportion at 1-2 for the overall screen and 1-1 (squares) for the kumiko pattern.  Elegant and quiet in effect.



Screens and track ready to go - people sometimes ask about our crating costs. They don't ask after they see the crates. We make beautiful custom work and believe it is far better to go to the effort of first class packaging than to build replacements because of shipping damage.  Plus, the crate and track crate can be used  as a hull and outrigger in an expedition mounted to explore the South Pacific......

Beech Shoji screens for a closet, span is about 106" by 80". Instead of Warlon laminated paper the client chose 2.0 mm Unryu Acrylic from Warlon. This Acrylic is more opaque, more light bounces back than goes through, hence the shadows from clothes in the closet will not be as noticeable. Comparison pictures below.

These are tall shoji screens- just about 8 feet. Made with Beech, Port Orford Cedar and .45 white Warlon laminated paper.  A 2-1 ratio is carried throughout- each small rectangle is 2-1, and each group of four rectangles is a 2-1 ratio. Two groups of four form a square and there are three squares to fill the whole screen height. Confused yet?

Our standard tight inlay of Ebony door pulls.

Upper (left) and lower (right) wood tracks for three shoji screens. There is a small plastic glide we put on the bottom edge of the screens, to engage the thumbnail profile on the lower track- much easier to clean and a lot more friendly on bare feet than a square edge groove. The lower track is finished with a urethane floor finish.
