Here are some of the Nick Agar style square wall hangings that I made this summer (Summer of 2020). I also made some plates. I am using the techniques I learned in a class with Nick at Arrowmont last year. Nick’s technique. My designs!

I have now turned 60 hollow forms in the last 3 months. During the Covid-19 shutdown. So far so good. They have kept the doctor away.

I decided to self quarantine myself for 2 weeks after I returned from a rafting trip to Costa Rica on March 17th. Then Governor Cuomo added a few more weeks.
I decided to turn one hollow form a day to keep the doctor away. See photos. 21 hollow forms in roughly 3 weeks.
I turned all of these hollow forms using my new Done In One Day method. See my “Done In One Day” blog entry. http://carlford.info/blog/2020/02/done-in-one-day-vases/ and my “Sanding Wet Wood” blog entry. http://carlford.info/blog/2020/03/sanding-wet-wood/
Updated: 4/23/2020. The vases are now for sale on my CarlFordWoodturner Etsy Store
I recently completed the above vases in a little over a week. One per day!
I needed to turn a vase in one day for a student demo. From green log to sanded, painted and finished vase in one day. It worked! No cracks and the vase dried out nicely.
I love having pieces that I don’t need twice turn, and/or paint and finish latter. I am still playing around and experimenting. So far, so good.
I just opened my new “CarlFordWoodturner” shop on etsy! Please shop early and often!
https://www.etsy.com/shop/carlfordwoodturner/
My high quality pieces are priced to sell! You win because I have a lot of pieces that I want to sell!
I am going to add more stuff over the next couple of days. Then I hope to add 2 new pieces per week.
There are also never seen before pictures of my stuff.
I recently took a WOW Factor master class with Nick Agar at
Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. June 9-16,
2019. Here are some photos of the work I created in the class.
