Second Kumiko Panel

Here is today's work on another more thoroughly planned piece.


This shows my layout drawing and some of the different stock pieces I used for the panel (jigumi), I plan to do the leaf pattern (asa no ha) in a darker wood for contrast, maybe cherry or walnut.
 

Two pairing jigs, I now realize I need one at 22.5 degrees to to most of the leaf pattern. So I must finish that before work continues.

  1. Good advise. Do you have one for the leaf pattern pieces that aren't cut all the way through? What about the mitsu-kude, the 3 way joint that forms the hexagonal for the leaf patterns?

  2. Where did you get your two paring jigs? Did you make them?

    1. I made them yes. They were done as a lamination and sanded to the right angle with a large disk sander at work, but they could also be planed, or a groove cut with a router, dado or plow plane afterwards.
