there are pictures of this someplace on the forum
so do i even need to twist any of it, or could i just 180 bend both ends? do you epoxy the wire in at all?

im using 14ga galvanized wire and some birch wood dowels from home depot its the lightest wood i could find. or is there somthing better?

sorry for so many questions. im off work this week and dont have much time to do this stuff.
