Chateau Monarch UR02 Raden Snowstorm Fountain Pen
Continuing on with the Chateau Monarch. The first Fountain pen from Chateau.
These pens are truly amazing to hold and handle. The quality of them are top notch. Although it may look like a simple pen to manufacture, its quite the opposite. The Faceted and Tapered shape alone is difficult when hand turning pens. The cap ring really shows amazing detail. Â These pens start with a 100% hand turned ebonite body then we apply around 30 layers of Urushi with Raden and finally Eggshell.. The effect is striking and makes it looks as if there is a snowstorm as you are looking up at the night sky since the layers of Raden are so varied. Its very hard to image this technique, but you can see a video of it here as well.
