Pocket door shoji screens

Two pocket door shoji screens made from Sapele, in our pattern 20, with a panel. Ebony pulls and opaque white Warlon paper. Size 30" x 80" x 1-3/8".

We hand pick all our wood. Every stick of it. And sometimes, there are a few pieces in the stack that are really exceptional though usually there is  not enough to fill out a whole order.  We buy it anyway- never can tell. On this job, there was just enough - the wood is an African "mahogany". These boards have a beautiful rippled grain that really catches the light, some parts look like water at a full boil, sort of bubbly. A more typical grain for Sapele is the ribbon stripe figure in the panels, pictured below. Really a lovely set of shoji.

  Closet shoji screens built in Beech with Opaque white Warlon. Too many to lay them all out like we usually do. Ed apparently misplaced Elvis so no way to see the scale of these.
The two widest closet shoji in the back are 53"in width if that helps.
The interior window shoji in front are 47-3/8" W by 36" H.
Another view below.

The interior window shoji and the two narrow pivot-hinge swing door shoji have white Warlon instead of the opaque white Warlon used in the closets.The denser opaque white warlon looks brighter for closets since it doesn't show shadow from the closet interior.

Two shoji on the left are for a utility room with an HVAC unit that needs ventilation. The bottom kumiko slats are spaced closely enough that from a 15 foot distance you can just see through them but when standing closer there's no view into the room. (see below)

Beech shoji with lower door panels to act as room divider - right hand shoji fits under a soffit. I was able to get the horizontal kumiko aligned between the two heights.
