Reviving Classic Craftsmanship through Counter and Wall Finishes

Shoyan, a Japanese carpenter, builds traditional fall prevention pony walls and a long, versatile ash wood counter using classic carpentry techniques like chisel sharpening and mortise and tenon joints. He details the construction of the pony walls with a camoy-style timber and a seamless trim, and meticulously crafts the counter, ensuring its durability with hidden support brackets. The completed project creates bright, functional spaces in the home.
