Now you beat me Wayne,
I would never dream of relating such elementary (abrasive) circular turning with the intrincate swirls of guilloché.
Back in the nineties i have asked a coleague to get me a piece of stainless steel sheet for some home application and the thing came with those finish effects. Hence my idea of modernity; nothing to do with Monsieur Guillot's invention.
Yet i may be wrong .

you can start here with engine turning 101 the proceed thru a few hundred lessons to the more elaborate rose lathes.

i never got beyond 101 too much trouble.

i hear martin luther apparently used a crude rose lathe powered by a bowstave in the 15c. for ornamental turnings.
