One woodcarver in the Northwest fixes the spirals as follows:
- I drill a 1/4" hole approximately the length of the shank
- insert a 1/4" piece of a finish nail in the hole of the spiral
- pour epoxy into the hole (about 3/4 full), and then
- insert the spiral with the bit of wire (nail) extending out both sides,
- pushing hard until it is fully in - making sure the spiral is straight.
He further notes, "I tried drilling a hole through the back of the piece, but sometimes I didn't hit the hole of the spiral, so I discontinued that way real quick."
