Tutorial on fuki-urushi (or suri-urushi) technique. Just the first layer, but more to follow.
Inspired by Andrew from ‪@PenFriends‬ and with some footage from him.

I'm Michael and I'm a fountain pen addict. I lacquer pens with urushi lacquer. I make fountain pens. On my channel, you fill find 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 a 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 and other urushi artists.

Just wanted to share a little information about humidity in a curing chamber. In the article you linked it stated that you want to keep humidity at 70%-75%. A super simple way to keep a chamber at 75% is by mixing water with salt until you have a wet sand like consistency, and setting that inside of your tub or box. Salt has a weird habit of releasing and absorbing moisture to keep a humidity of 75%. This trick is even used by scientists to calibrate hygrometers. If you look up how to calibrate a hygrometer this is what you will come up with.

This is extremely useful to watch! Ironwood looks superb.. I’m noticing certain woods definitely take urushi better than others. The olive wood doesn’t dent, but I’m find in all other woods will. Lots to experiment with!

Great video, thanks. Question--what is the optimal sanding grit to finish the wood pieces prior to applying the first coat of urushi? Also, were you never allergic to urushiol or did you build up tolerance over the years? Thanks.

Hi I just have a question so I purchased a tube of raw urushi sometime ago and was wondering how do I tell when the urushi has gone bad and needs to be thrown away

@TamenuriStudio 2 жыл бұрын

Test it. Apply thin layer on glass plate, and cure in 75%. If it nit cures in 24h - its weak.

Do you think using a card scraper between layers is a good idea or is sandpaper always better?

@TamenuriStudio 3 жыл бұрын

I have no woodworking experience, and very little eith scrapers so cant say. I imagine there are situation where scrapers can be better, but not at finishing stages for sure.

What kind of urushi can I use if I don’t want to change the surface collor? Thank you!

@TamenuriStudio 2 жыл бұрын

High quality raw urushi (kijomi). But it will ALWAYS get darker. It is impossible to laquer wood in way it will not get at least slightly darker.

Do you add turpentine in the urushi in the treads of the pen?

@TamenuriStudio 2 жыл бұрын

Depends on type of urushi. I make threads with higher tolerance than normal, so without urushi they are loose, to make room for lacquer. Some layers are dilluted, some not, but all are super thin and there is less layers on thread than on the rest of the pen.

Witam, chciałam zapytać skąd bierzesz urushi.

@TamenuriStudio 2 жыл бұрын

Czesc, kupuje teraz glownie w Japonii od kilku dostawcow. W Europie mozesz kupic bardzo pidstawowe rzeczy w Dictum.com i korest.de a w Japonii najletwiej w Watanabe Shoten (pozostali moi dostawcy maja maja oferty online czy po angielsku)

Hello, turpentine is not available where I live. What alternatives are there?

@TamenuriStudio 2 жыл бұрын

Hmm, hard to believe it is not available, it’s basic artits supply. Camphore was used, but it influiences how urushi cures. Some toluen based thinners work good too.

@@TamenuriStudio Ok, thanks. I think there was some regulation passed a few years ago preventing hardware stores from purchasing new stock of pure turpentine, so instead they just use generic paint thinners.
