So.... 6 flute, 8 flute or more/less flutes?
I have a barrel to flute and am dithering over patterns and there is no point asking the customer as it is me!
Thoughts anyone?

Aesthetically the middle one looks good (using a bit of imagination!) and appears to have a good amount of surface area for cooling.

Can't see enough to get the full effect.
Spiral fluting picked out in a different colour looks cool.
