Fuji Valance

That’s what I like about the Japanese style, it can have decorative elements but they don’t overwhelm the “truth” of the material or the proportions of the piece.

Nice touch with the sap wood, in tune with nature…BC

Cal,

Beautiful valance. Love your work. A review of all your projects shows nice simple, clean and creative design through each piece.

Cal,

How nice. Symmetrical, simple, stunning…with your usual sense of style. This will only get more lovely as the cherry darkens with time and light heightening the contrast with the sap wood. Is the non-wood material paper, glass, plastic or something else? Thanks for sharing.

Simply elegant, well proportioned, and well executed. Nicely done!

Boxguy – Sorry, I forgot to list the paper as a material. It’s actually a PVC coated washi paper that I import from Japan.

Awesome. Thanks for posting!

That is beautiful Cal. Very nicely done. The sapwood for the snow top is perfect.
