Books on barley twists or spiral turning

[Dan Kozar]

I am looking for a book that I was had, but loaned to someone, and has never returned. It is neither the Stuart Mortimer, or Bill Bowers book. If I remember correctly, it had a blue cover with a lidded bowl. The lid had an open spiral finial with multiple bines. I have searched the inter net for both woodworking, and woodturning books with no success.
Thanks for any help
Dan

Must be Bill Bowers. I had Stuart sign my copy of his book in St. Paul.

I love a good scavenger hunt. Is it this one?

 

[Dan Kozar]

Mike and Rick, no it is not either of those two books. Thanks for trying, hopefully somebody will know the answer. I have the Mortimer, and have seen the Bowers, but it is a different book that I am looking for. If you want to see a picture of a similar open spiral finial check out https://sawmillcreek.org/content.php?143-How-I-Make-Spiral-or-Twisted-Finials
The finial that is on the cover of the book that I am looking for appears to be ebony, and has more bines

Dan, that is a cool reference/how to. I've done but one barley twist, and have a keen interest in others, but the method I originally used required a bore the length of the piece, this method seems to not need one. That minor difference opens up a world of possibilities.

Is this the one?

 

[Dan Kozar]

That is the Bill Bowers book, and as I stated in my original post, it is not, but thanks for trying.

It's not this one, is it?

 

[Dan Kozar]

Unfortunately it's not.
