Woodturning Spiral & Twist Decorating System: Add Barley Twists, Spirals and Flutes to Your Work Barley twists, spirals and flutes have long been tricky to pull off at the lathe. This decorating system takes the difficulty out of the process and opens up a whole new field of decoration for your turning. Based on the same principle as the texturing tool, it is straightforward to use even if you have never attempted a twist before, and it comes with clear instructions and ideas to help you build your skills further. The built-in rest lets you approach the work at a range of angles, while the graduations along the rest give you the repeatability you need for matching results across a project. The degree of offset sets the pitch of your spiral, so you stay in control of the finished look. Three interchangeable cutters add even more variety, and each one doubles as a texturing tool. With these you can produce fine spirals on the stem of a delicate goblet, chequered designs, rope-effect twists and heavier patterns on boxes, spindles and candlesticks.
