Manu Propria Pens - Fuki-Urushi

[manupropria]

Here you see a bamboo pen with "Fuki-Urushi" finish.
Fuki-Urushi is the term for sealing wood and bamboo by rubbing raw lacquer "ki-urushi" into the surface.
After the raw urrushi is rubbed in it is completely rubbed off and shall be cured for 24 hours. This process can be repeated as many times as necessary or desired. The honey color of the urushi gives the wood a more intensive color and darkens it layer by layer. Inside of the pen is soaked with urushi thinned with Acetone
After proper fuki-urushi the pen/wood is completely sealed and water proof.

Best regards,

Martin
