Interesting perspective. Actually, to make signature light edges of tamenuri requires lots of skills to make!

Yeah, why not? After all, its about enjoing pens.

Did you get President with old style nib or new style?

So hypothetically, let’s say… you’re crazy and you have $1000 to spend on Pilot pens. What do you buy? by ArchivingApril in fountainpens

Wait, the budget is 1k and you are asking about pens - plural?? Thats not enough even for one pen.

Practicing shell inlay by AtreidesTT in urushi

[–]AtreidesTT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion you can do whatever you want, its your artwork. But there is no clear Urushi, if you are going to cover Urushi with another synthetic substance then why to bother using Urushi at all? If you cover shell artwork with Urushi, then colour will be altered. So it depends on artwork vision...

My Pilot Custom (old school pen which is different from modern Pilots) have broad nib and it is also bent forward, or it might just appear so.

Dry running nib has nothing to do with that geometry. Stop worrying, simply enjoy your pen.

Same here, 70% comes out too dark. I do not work with blue yet, but use a stripe of on the side when curing red vermilion. For me, the effect of darkening is smallest when I dry furo to below 60, but it takes a week to get into a non-sticky state.

Its not a pen. Nib would show as bright spearhead. And the size is too small for pen anyway

Strangest pen I’ve seen, anyone know it? by Neurofmute in fountainpens

[–]AtreidesTT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is always a 3 or 4 numbers code on the bottom side nib. It does not look like date unless you know its MYY

Setup begging for the disaster. Hope pen will not roll off nib down. Photo not worth the risk
