April 2017 – Charles Farrar – Channel Islands Woodturners

Demonstrator Charles Farrar from North Carolina – see charlesfarrar.com

Project 1 – hollowform shaping and hollowing

Replaceable carbide tip tool for hollowing – stabilized

Small tool at top is skew from 1/4″ round stock

Drive center from found object (rubber dog toy?)

Project 3 – Carving “hammer” marks with carbide burr

Project 4: Collar and lid. Collar with competing texture not recommended – Charles likes African Blackwood – not Wenge

Transferring diameter of opening to collar

Shaping the top lid that will hold the finial or swoosh

The collar and lid should conform to the curve of the body

Project 5: Coloring – first blacken with leather dye. Then dab on acrylic paint (here green)
