Milky Way (Raden)
Description
The "Miky Way " fountain pen is a shortened and modified carbon desk fountain pen, featuring a stunning pattern of colors made of "Raden"
(=mother of pearl), black and clear urushi with metal hologram pigments and gold bronze powder. It is a cartridge converter pen with a fine nib ideal for sketching. The pen has been covered in
layers of black base urushi lacquer (wet sanded with #1000 grid sandpaper after each application and curing). For the next step mother of pearl pieces where applied and cured.
The next layers where done with clear urushi, until the pen seemed to be almost black - brown in color. Once the urushi was completely cured, the pen was wet sanded until the raden became visible
and showed through the lacquer. For the finishing kijo-mi urushi got applicated on the pen and wiped off with filtering paper. After curing for additional 24hrs, the pen got
polished and once again, kijo-mi urushi got applicated and wiped off. After a final curing period the lacquer was burnished and polished several times to a glasslike shine. Length of the
production process: 2 months.
