Copper Spinning Tools

I just straightened out two pieces of 5/8" diameter coil spring. They are both 20 inches long and plan to attach a long handle tommorrw. The overall length is going to be 36 inches.The end of one is tapered down and I am planning on rounding it then polishing. The other one is flared out to 1 1/4" rounded on one side and flat on the other. I read that all edges should be rounded and polished. Is this what I should attempt spinnings with? and,What shape is the easiest to begin with?
Thanks fellows
