** 2 May 2023: Please note that I have unfortunately had to bring my kumiko and woodworking life to a close. Mariko, my wife of 43 years, was diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer and had to undergo a bone marrow transplant just over a year ago. My time is now entirely devoted to looking after her. This is why there have been no additional kumiko videos uploaded. I'm sorry for the lack of activity, but I hope you all can understand my position. Thanks, and all the very best with your kumiko efforts. Cheers, Des

Video Description

In this video, I show you how to make the square asa-no-ha (麻の葉) kumiko pattern. The pattern is made into a drink coaster, which makes an ideal gift with a very personalised touch. Details on the different methods of making the asa-no-ha pattern, and all the jigs needed are in my book Shoji and Kumiko Design - Book 1 The Basics. Dimensions for the coaster: Kumiko pitch - 44.0 mm Diagonals: 57.7 mm Hinge pieces: 29.3 mm Locking pieces: 16.5 mm Photos of the asa-no-ha and the many other patterns I've made can be seen on my website at kskdesign.com.au
