Episode 5: Three-Panel Folding Screen

Host David Marks demonstrates the basics of mortise-and-tenon joinery, as well as other major steps, in the construction of an Asian-influenced three-panel folding screen. This elegant decorative piece is made from gorgeous Australian lace-wood panels, an ebonized frame and knuckled wood hinges. The distinctive frame is highlighted by angle-cut accents and a crescent-ridge design.
