In this video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy demonstrates how to apply a double twist to a square wire. This back and forth style of twisted wire is commonly associated with Celtic style jewelry.
The secret to success with this type of wire twisting is to work with well annealed metal. Also, you need to work with square wire so that the twists are clearly visible. The edges of the wire are what really create the back and forth twisting effect.
