The Art of Kumiko: Learn to Make Beautiful Panels by Hand

Kumiko is an artistic Japanese style of woodwork that has been practiced for over 1000 years. Showcased primarily in screens and shoji, Kumiko involves complex designs of interconnected pieces of wood that are slotted together without the use of nails or glues. The Art of Kumiko celebrates this incredible heritage, using both modern woodworking equipment and hand tools to create beautiful pieces.

The book is characterized by a spirit of generosity and appreciation: richly illustrated and filled with insights about both the mindset and process. You'll learn how to incorporate Kumiko in both furniture designs and as stand-alone framed panels.

Includes step-by-step instructions for 10 patterns, with information about making the guides and jigs that simplify the work. Softcover.
