This time is Eucalpytus burl, shown here with two coats of DO awaiting the final coats of WOP satin. Dia is around 7" x 5"

WIP spiral carving
here we go the WIP of the spiral effect.
Pretty straight forward, used the Woodfast indexing set up 24 positions, scribed each arc with a compass and pencil. Cut the basic outline with a Dremel and reciprocating chisel attachment.
Because the spirals are essentially flat so I could finish them off with a rasp and file etc. This makes it easier than most, but they do demand the edges remain clean and crisp plus follow the arc.Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

You say it's straight forward but to some one that has not done this before it means something to think about.

That looks brilliant. I thought when I first saw it how good it looked, and it must have been done with a Dean Malcolm type router spiral jiggy thing, but then I saw your next post, WOW
Thanks for posting
Cheers
