Process for forming the Yosegi Pattern
Step 1 | Step 2 | ||
Apply an adhesive agent to colored wood materials to make a wood base with an intricate pattern. | Saw the patterned wood base precisely into patterned members and plane the members. | ||
Step 3 | Step 4 | ||
Assemble the patterned members with an adhesive agent into unit patterned pieces. | Bond the unit patterned pieces together and saw them to desired dimensions. | ||
Step 5 | Step 6 | ||
Put the sawed blocks together to create a continuous pattern and make an original board. | With a special large plane. shave the original board into paper-thin sheets of wood. These paper-thin sheets of wood are called “Zuku” sheets. | ||
Step 7 | Step 8 | ||
The shaved “Zuku” sheets are curied up, so roll out the sheets of wood with an iron. | Paste the wood mosaic “zuku” sheets to a small box and a wood mosaic article is completed. |
