i don't know what a swirl finish is but i used to do a random scratch finish when i was in business. my customers liked it and it wasn't hard to do. polish the barrel. set the lathe to about 50 rpm. cover everything with old towels to protect from grit. put a 100 grit disc on an orbital sander. have the barrel spinning in the lathe and use the sander up and down the barrel until you get the pattern you like.
