   Traditionally they have to be built by the "shoji man". He comes to your house with his cart full of tools, you feed him and offer him some of your Sapporo, and he hand crafts them in your living room.
   I think you will have to approach a cabinet maker, show him the article in fine woodworking and have him give you his thoughts. Try over at "Knots", they may know the issue #, it was quite a few years ago and mine is momentarily missing.

   *Finn,I know of at least 3 in the US. CTT Furniture in San Diego: http://www.webvmall.com/ctt-furniture.htm is the one I'm using now and have been very impressed by their prices and craftsmanship. The other two are LA Shoji (in Los Angeles) and the third is Cherry Tree Designs (in Montana?). I'll try to get you the addresses/phones on these latter two tomorrow.

   Does anybody know where I can get Japanese style Shoji doors (interior wood framed, paper covered doors) - preferable an East Coast source?

   An open minded cabinetmaker/furnituremaker may be able to help you out,depending on your requirements.I've done several shoji-type projects and enjoyed them. paper and alternatives to trad. paper are available, and the rest is just woodworking.
