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

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)
