Artist Statement:
Charles Hargenrader :
Woodturner
Charles grew up in
Northwestern Pennsylvania in
the Allegany mountain region.
He discovered early on that he
was a gifted woodworker.
Growing up in an area where
very large cherry trees are
harvested he started making
furniture as a hobby. As an
ordained elder in the Nazarene
Church travels include Europe
& various States. Because of
his vocation his family has
lived in Colorado, Great
Britain, Florida, New Jersey,
Germany, & now the great State
of Maine. After moving to
Maine he remembered how he
enjoyed turning wood on a
lathe in high school. So he
purchased an old spindle
turning machine built in 1874.
His background as a
welder/fabricator before
entering full time ministry,
allowed him to convert the
lathe into a bowl turning unit
and creating his own turning
tools. Being an outdoorsman
has helped him appreciate the
splendor of creation, and has
helped inspire his work
fashioned on his antique
lathe. His love for
woodturning is a reflection of
the beauty that is enjoyed in
his nature loving experiences
throughout the world. Charles
is a member of the American
Association of Woodturners,
Maine chapter of AAW, United
Maine Craftsman, &
MaineMade.com...
