Shoji screens built in Beech to span an opening 114-3/4" wide. They will be installed with floor tracking so all three screens will stack left or right in the opening.
The shoji screens are 82" tall. Elvis stepped in for scale, he is 6 ft. tall.
Below is a picture of the door pull recess milled into the shoji door stile.

Beech shoji screens with K14 for an upper floor wall window. You can just see the locking screws in the top rail of the shoji which will keep the shoji from being knocked out. Door pull recesses were milled into the shoji stile. Close up picture below. There's a trim package with this order, not pictured.

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.

Maple shoji screens with Maple lower door panels and Chiri Warlon insert material.
The shoji are 35-3/8" x 95" x 1-3/8".
A centered book match on the panels, and a nicely proportionate Kumiko grid above. The panel height matches the adjacent countertop. The "Chiri" warlon is a rustic paper, with various inclusions of bark and straw.
Note the photo was taken with the left shoji having white cardboard behind, the right shoji has brown. Chiri paper is good at concealing the darker background, and it is very effective at covering an un-lit space, like a closet or powder room, for this reason.
These are tall shoji, floor to ceiling, with a recessed ceiling track. Elvis for scale, he is 6' tall.
The book matched lower maple panels.
We spent some time developing fixtures to cut in these pulls super cleanly!
