How do you do the intruding spikes in your turnings? They are truly amazing and really add a touch of class.

I am retired and have a wood shop downtown Abilene. I do some bowl turning but mostly cabinets. I have looked at your gallery and I say all is beautiful. I have been doing too much of my work for free (just a good old boy). I now want to turn some of the designs that I see here.
