Shoji Handle Walnut

Shoji handle for recessing made of solid walnut (Black Walnut)

The dark wood shell handles contrast beautifully with light woods such as fir and pine, but also go well with oak and larch.

Shoji handles are glued into a prepared hole in the frame wood. The corners of the handle hole must be chiseled out by hand. The handle shells themselves are slightly conical (wider at the top than at the bottom) so that they can be installed without joints.
