Wanted to try building a shoji screen. Purchased a book with good overall advice. One area I am needing some help with is how to best/safely cut the 1/4" X 3/8" X approx 50" kumiko. They are the pieces that create the lattice pattern in te middle of the shoji.
Originally planned to rip a 1/4" strip from 4/4 lumber. Then use a jig for cutting tapers tohold and rip two 3/8" pieces; but the length is too long for the jig.
Another idea is work with thicker stock. Perhaps 8/4 will be safer to work with?
Appreciate any ideas.
