Perfect gloss with uwazuri

Everyone who saw an urushi finished pen knows - the gloss of kuro-roiro, or tamenuri finish is incredible. It has depth, very special shine, and all "precious resins" hade in comparison. It is achieved in process of uwazuri - applying numerous layers of suri-uruish, or some high-quality lacquers like kijomi-urushi, and polishing with migaki powder, extremely fine abrasive.

Lacquer used: kijomi-urushi. Other raw lacquers with water content can be used (suri-urushi)
Additives: camphor oil (turpentine can be used)
Lintfree cloth
Rapeseed oil
Migaki powder

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.

Most pens I show are for sale, and the best way to buy them is to check out my Instagram and send me a message there.
