Shojis finally waxed

Wood wax was chosen over polyurethane clear coat because... well, because I was too lazy to apply 2 coats and sand lightly between each coat! With wax, you simply brush on, let sit, then wipe off. It's similar to waxing a car. Purists (woodworking masters) may even claim it creates a better finish. But also, my shoji is made of very slim douglas fir and pine — way too easy to get damaged in sanding.

The metal angle supports have also been covered (above the head rail). See my shoji design post for details.
