Sort of turning

Built a machine for turning spirals with a router a few years ago. It will cut leads from 2 to 15 inches per rev. I turn the spirals, split them in half and make picture frames.

Sort of nice too.  Interesting idea Ray.  Do you glue the halves together before turning and split afterwards?

I do it both ways. Sometimes glue with paper between the halves or just cut the pattern and split in the bandsaw.
