Eight tea house shoji in Port Orford Cedar with Warlon Acrylic inserts. There are two different sized openings and Ed was able to get the horizontal kumiko to align across all. The effect, when the shoji meet in the corners on either side of the posts, will be balanced.

'Growler' Proofing

Meet Growler. We replaced the paper inserts and added kumiko to the bottom of these four shoji screens in hopes that Growler would not be able to dent the paper anymore. He apparently kept 'bumping' into the bottom of the shoji during his daily exercise routine.

For an opening between the kitchen and dining room, this shoji will be fixed in a floor to ceiling wall opening to provide light. Shoji size is 35" x 106" tall. Custom kumiko pattern and custom stain color with 2.0 mm Warlon Acrylic insert material.

Four shoji, only two pictured, to act as an office room divider. Shoji to span 15 feet with each shoji approximately 45" x 95" tall. Built all in Cherry with 0.45 mm White Warlon insert material and ebony inlaid door pulls.

I've always loved this picture. I'm finally updating that website portfolio page with the newer images sent by our client. You can see the rest of the install here .

Fixed shoji panels in Beech with 2.0 mm Warlon Acrylic and the client's kumiko pattern.

 Built to the designer's specifications regarding the frame detail. I'd really like to see them installed.

A shoji to cover the lower half of a window, 94" wide by 21" tall. The shoji installs with single wood tracking so it can be removed to clean when needed. The client wanted the Fibonacci kumiko pattern turned on it's side. Challenging but workable.

A second shoji for a different window 70" wide by 19" tall. The change in proportions required a change in the kumiko pattern.
