Japanese woodworking – Tokonoma: How to Finish it

Japanese woodworking – Tokonoma: How to Finish it

In this video, I finished “tokonoma” that is a Japanese specific space for the ornament. I used the top grade of zelkova. Although it’s a small space, it’s hard to finish it due to many things to do, and it took a full day.

    Wonderful work and skills! Also very good translations! A little advice from a native English speaker: the word “tear” has multiple meanings with different pronunciations. The pronunciation for the meaning you intend sounds exactly like the word “tare” 😉

    Do you really plane down the flames of keyaki? Running up the flames means less tearout to me .I will try your way. 😊

    Interesting work. I don’t understand using a large thick section of beautiful hardwood for the floor of a cupboard.

    What kind of saw is that for the gypsum?

    Thank you, nice combination of power and hand tools

    Wish I knew what planer that is….or had a list of every tool you got in your shop. Seems like the tools in japan are far different from the US.
