I'm Michal and I'm a fountain pen addict and I lacquer pens with urushi lacquer. On my channel, you fill wind tutorials, videos from my urushi workshop, presentation of techniques, tools and materials used in urushi craft. I am also showing pens lacquered by me and other artists. I review pens but mostly urushi and I focus on this aspect of pen, not usual build, nibs and writing performance.
I am self-taught in this craft, most I know I do I learned from my own experience, trial and error. A lot of them. But also from Japanese books, and videos on urushi.
I make bespoke urushi pens to order, too, so please contact me If you are interested. It can be an ebonite pen I provide (I cooperate with several hight quality pen-makers) or you pen, provide the clip is removable and trim is not too elaborate.
The is so immensely helpful. Thank you so very much for this video.
Perfect tips...
Very helpful. I have used Urushi twice and each time I ruined my brushes. Does this method work for synthetic and sable brushes? I think I may order a Hake brush in the future, but I want to be sure that this is something that I want to pursue before I invest more. I make dip pens so I wanted to try using Urushi on them myself. Thank you for the help!
Dont buy hake if you are beginner. Use flat, high quality synthetic brushes, short hard, rather stiff. This method of cleaning works for them too, but after 2-3 squizes with oil just but them in turpentine brush cleaner.
@@TamenuriStudio Okay! Thank you so much!
Sorry. I couldn't hear the liquid you used to clean the brush before application. May you give me its name? Thank you!
it turpentine. I use it to wash the oil off.
@@TamenuriStudio thank you so much.
