Is urushi dangerous?

Urushi can be both: very harmful or completely safe. Cured urushi, on fountain pens, kitchen utensils, lacquerware, jewellery - is safe. On the other hand raw, fresh urushi, or not cured fully can be very dangerous to some people, and for most of them harmful. The main ingredient of urushi lacquer - urushiol, responsible for its important properties (polymerisation) is a strong allergen.

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.
