Frames & Framing: Mortise & Tenon:

Yoshida

Prices

A METICULOUSLY HAND-CRAFTED FRAME, the Yoshida is an ideal setting for the artistry of the print-maker. The Yoshida features pinned through mortise-and-tenon joints accented with delicate pillow-shaped inlaid square plugs in either ebony or the same wood as the frame. An ebonized (black) slip may be added — an especially effective enhancement on prints with strong outlining.

On the standard Yoshida the short sides are 1" wide, while the long sides are 3/4" wide, accentuating the format of the print (particularly appealing on pieces with elongated proportions). Other widths are available.

Walnut with ebony plug and ebonized slip.


Machiche with ebony plugs and ebonized slip.

The Yoshida is available in the same woods offered for our other frames — quartersawn white oak (in either a clear finish or your choice from a range of stains), cherry, Honduran mahogany, walnut, and maple (including birdseye and quilted maple), plus the following alternates:

Ebonized cherry
A saturated black finish with subtle hints of wood tones. Call us about ebonizing other woods.


Machiche
From Belize, this has a muted red-brown hue somewhere between walnut and mahogany, often lightly streaked with slightly more golden tones.
