Cutting Kumiko Strips by Handtools // Kumiko Making Part 1

I made this video showing how to cut with handtools the wood strips in order to make a Kumiko pattern. Not only they are cut exactly all the same size, but they are also cleaned and smooth by the plane, so no further finish will be required. The main tool used is a handmade plane thickness jig.
This is part one of a Kumiko making series, next one I will make an actual pattern and in the third episode I will be making a box with a Kumiko lid.

A good reference in Kumiko making are this book from Des King Shoji and Kumiko Design vol.1 - https://amzn.to/3Shr4Mo
