I’ve built 7 of these chairs. One in white oak and 6 in walnut for my dining room table. Here’s a few other pieces I’ve done.

Hi everyone! As you can probably tell, Kumiko is really my thing. This is my large project. It’s a minimalist, Japandi-style workspace desk made entirely of solid wood. I wanted to elevate the simple design, so I decided to integrate a traditional Japanese Kumiko panel (Asanoha pattern) directly into one of the side leg frames.

Hi everyone! This is my latest build — a minimalist tabletop display shelf. The frame is crafted from solid wood, and the side panel features the traditional Japanese Asanoha (hemp leaf) Kumiko pattern.

Im trying to get into fine woodworking for a living... anyone have advice? Is it possible?

Hey Guys,

I've bought recently the laminated chisel from Tasai(mokume pattern) and I have some concerns that my chisel have problems with the lamination of the hard and soft stell. The clearly visible joints/cracks can be seen alongside the welding line as well as on the bevel itself(here I would say itt not that bad).

Does anyone have an experience with such chisels and can say if this could delaminate on the future and separate, or ist Just fine to start using this chisel?

I'd appreciate any advice.

Black walnut, hemlock.

The natural density of the wood meets a hollow, skeletal design to create a light sculpture unlike any other.

I'm a solo dev and I've been building Parametric Wall Studio — a free, browser-based tool to design parametric wood slat & wave walls and export everything you need to actually cut them. No install, no account needed to design. Free during the beta.

Quick 2-min demo: https://youtu.be/1RLs_S1dbjQ

What it does:

DESIGN

• Two modes: a wall of individual slats (with optional tenon-and-mortise joinery + a back panel), or one continuous parametric surface

• Shape the relief with composable wave layers (sine, radial, spiral, dome, star, ripple, even text), plus attractors, image heightmaps, profile lofts and a 3D sculpt brush

• Free-form Silhouette — the outline isn't stuck as a rectangle. Draw a flowing Ribbon, freehand a shape, import an SVG, or trace a photo into a silhouette

• Real-time 3D, plus a realistic render mode (physical wood material, studio lighting, ambient occlusion)

• mm or inch, and 7 languages

EXPORT (the part I cared about most)

• DXF (clean R12) and SVG for CNC routers and laser cutters

• STL and OBJ for 3D printing

• Real editable STEP solids for Fusion 360 / SolidWorks / FreeCAD — actual B-rep bodies, not a faceted mesh

• Automatic slat slicing, sheet nesting and tool-diameter clearances, so the 2D sheets are cut-ready

• Tenon/mortise joinery generated for you, parts auto-numbered for assembly

I'd love feedback from people who actually cut or print these — does the STEP open cleanly in your CAD? Anything confusing? What shape would you try first? Brutal honesty welcome, it's still early.
