Shoji Screen

By FWW_Gallery, member Oct 24, 2012

Woodworker: Ramon ValdezValdez designed this Shoji screen (1-3/4 in. deep by 65 in. wide by 73 in. tall) around a curly maple board he’d been hanging onto for years. To add interest to the maple slats, he sliced and numbered them, then alternated and flipped them to enhance the chatoyance (shimmer). The frame is purpleheart and the panels are anigre. Prior to assembly, Valdez finished each part with an oil/polyurethane mixture. From Fine Woodworking #220
