As the title suggests, the larger gaps are to be filled with Kumiko. The smaller gaps will be left empty. I though about a simple pattern as in the demo lantern on the right in this picture.
Do you have other ideas? All I can currently do with my mitre saw are square patterns. Cannot do triangles, unfortunately.
Its just butt joints with round dowels. With 12mm thick bars I think there wasn’t much more space for any other dowel type. Nor do I have the tools 😄
Oh okay I think I can kind of see a dowel joint in one picture but most of them are hidden. Very cool. Can’t wait to see the finished product. I bet the light it casts will be just delicious
Ah the one hole. That was a mistake 😄
