PenTeo Samurai Spirit Deep Sea

[Teodor]

Hi all,

I hope you are well.
After 3 months of work I finished this pen.
Urushi requires time and a lot of patience to get it right. The Urushi ont je oen will continue to improve in the hands of the owner, it will get brighter, smoother.
Nice day,
Teo

Stunning! Beautiful lines and the pen rest is a brilliant touch.

Very nice! I really love the colors on this one! Are there any resources in how to apply this technique? Keep up the great work!

Great work Teo!
I wonder if you used urushi powder or rapeseed, I would bet on the latter. Very attractive result anyway!

I like the look of that style of finish.

Thank you! I used mustard seeds.

Ok now you have peaked my curiosity, how are mustard seeds used? Do they help create the "eyes" or are used for the color?

The seeds are sprinkled over a fresh layer of Urushi and let dry a couple of days, removed and layers of black Urushi are applied.
Sending it's performed till the pattern is revealed

Time well spent, as the results are "Beautiful" pen with a superb finish.

Oh WOW Teo, that is a beautiful pen. Personally, I think that it is one of your nicest pens so far. The shop should smell nice for a while, the mustard seed should smell good while turning the blank.

Teo, thanks for sharing, very cool technique. I'm learning that the use of Urushi techniques is not well documented, its passed down and learned from lots of experimenting. I think my biggest issue right now is sourcing all the right supplies.

Keep up the awesome work, we love seeing all of your pens!

Wow. I would never have the patience to make something like that (nor would I have the skills required).
It is a very attractive pen. - Dave

I've search for a few days now, does anyone have any suggestions for US suppliers for Urushi and related supplies?
