Shoji screens built in Beech with Beech lower door panels and 1 mm White Warlon. This stack of 8 shoji - two are already packaged - will be used to close off the patio sliding glass doors. Elvis stepped in for scale, he is 6 feet tall.

There are also 4 shoji screens for the closet areas.

Below instead of inlaid door pulls Ed cut them into the stiles.

The shoji screens were packaged two together and loaded into crates.
That makes it easier to handle once delivered.
Crates shown below, the reason they are so expensive to build-
they need to be stout to protect the shoji in transit.

Beech closet and interior window shoji - though they almost look like natural Cherry. I think the combination of the wood tones and wall colors is very appealing.
Many thanks for our client for these pictures.

Thank you to our client for pictures!
The kumiko pattern they wanted is similar to other shoji in their home. The far right shoji screen hides a mirror, which I thought was interesting. All shoji stack to the right out of the opening using upper roller tracking with floor tracking.

Integrity Remodeling

 

Shoji screens to be used as a room divider. Built in Beech with Waterfall Warlon and inlaid Japanese Cherry door pulls. Elvis stepped in for scale - he is 6 feet tall.

Ed used different backgrounds to show how translucent the Warlon is.
This is a new item for us. I think Warlon calls it 'rain' but as we're in the PNW and get plenty of that - Waterfall just sounded better to us.

I added this picture since it shows the stack of wood ready to go through the planer, the next step in becoming kumiko for the next order.

ALLOY Architecture + Construction

 

 

Something a bit different, designed for a window opening by our client.

The proportions worked out really well.

As usual, Elvis stepped in for scale, he is 6 ft tall. Shoji size is 33" x 75-9/16" x 1-3/8".

 

This shows the detail of our tapered half lap joinery. This is the backside of the joint.

Note in the photo below how the joint is hidden.

The blind, tapered half lap joint-no end grain shows.

Japanese Cherry pulls inlaid into Beech frames.

 Beech shoji screens to span a 144-1/2" doorway, sliding into a double pocket when open.

We only had room to set up two of the doors. These will be joined to make one large shoji.

Elvis stepped in for scale. He is 6' tall.

 

 

Each pair of shoji will be joined to function as one sliding door using the hardware pictured above. The picture below is of the joinery strap at the top of the shoji. These pictures are from a different order which is why the wood (Cherry not Beech) is different. Client has their own tracking. Pictures of Rockridge on the portfolio page.

Beech shoji screens for an upstairs loft area. Built using Waterfall Warlon laminated paper and inlaid Japanese Cherry door pulls. Span is 100-1/2" x 43-1/2".
Elvis stepped in for scale, he is 6 ft. tall.

 

Waterfall Warlon which is a new one we are stocking for shoji. The darker background shows the pattern better. Detail picture below.

 

Above head shoji installed with wood tracking get a special treatment. Simple screws with corresponding recesses in the upper tracking only allow the shoji to install at one point along the tracking. The screws fill in the gap between the top of the shoji and the upper tracking groove so the shoji can't be nudged and fall out.

Cherry shoji screens with Sapele lower door panels and Kinwashi Warlon laminated paper. The pattern is what I call Mona Pearl's moon since I think she was the first person we built  this style for. Actually the first was a smaller version that you can see here.

 

As usual, Elvis stepped in for scale. He is 6' tall. The shoji are to span 116" less side jambs. Each shoji is 40" x 80" x 1-3/8"
