Love it, hate it, Urushi

[chriselle]

Blame the customer. He wanted a blue Urushi body with a Sedona gold front section and clipless. After going completely non component on my urushi I must say I hate making these semi kitless thingies. Meh...customer seems to be happy so I'll leave it at that. Anyway, it's black on two blues with a gold layer for some shimmer. Thanks for looking.

love the blank, dont think I am ready to try it. I would like it better with a clip

Nice work as usual o master with patience.

Oh...I was cursing this one. Making it was akin to scrubbing a dirty toilet bowl. In the end it's shiny but the entire process was a chore. It was like polishing a turd for 6 months. :wink: No more of these half and half pens. It's got to be either full component or custom.

Darn customers, grrrrrrrrr! Love the urushi!!!

All of you hard effort paid off as long as the customer is happy. Nice looking pen.

Cursing pays off sometimes....and all that is important is the final customer getting their 'dream come true' pen. Well done!

Beautiful....I find if you charge per curse word you will make out better in the long run.

I LOVE your Urushi finish and I don't really mind the "half and half". I am a long admirer of your Urushi process. I though about giving it a go, but unfortunately, I don't have the materials (OR THE PATIENCE)!

Nicely done, as always!

Thank you Andy. I'm just getting the ebonite bodies ready for this years batch of pens. The air is too dry this time of year but come March and April I should be able to get to slathering...:wink:

Chris, your pens are far in between, but I have never been disappointed with the one that follows. Excellent!

I can understand the frustration of putting on such a beatiful finish on something that doesn't hold it's weight against it.

Love urushi...only wish I could give it a try!
