Liam Flynn at Glen Lucas woodturning Demo

[boysie39]

Her are some shots of Liam Flynn turning a speciality hollow form

Started with a wet Oak blank

Shaping the outside form

Hollowing the form

Cutting the inner form , this is all turned from one blank

Liam then done some carving on the outer top part of the form , But I forgot to take some photos

It was very nice when finished

Again great piccys and i like Liams bowls within bowl pieces
Must have been great to see these turners at work.

Mark, The esteem that Liam is held was evident when we all sat down for our meal, It was a who's who of everybody who is anybody in Irish turning,apart from me of course.

Liam and Ciaran Forbes dont do many demos in Ireland and it was a privalage to see them at work .The questions that came from thoes present were way above my head, but when answered even I could understand. A truly memorable day one I will always cherish.

Fantastic, I've seen his work and it must have been a real treat to watch him in action and pic his brains but is it me or does he have his eys closed in every pic? now thats skill when you don't even have to look at what your doing!....

Great piccys Glen
Glen is Liams carving finish straight off the tool or is there sanding involved :?:
Any chance of you all coming to the Brummie Bash next year :lol:

 

[glenn lucas]

Hi Paul.

Liam does not sand the carving as it will lose it's defined edges.

Regards

Glenn
