Perfect or whatever
software is used to
have the text printed out in reverse so the transfer would be legible
on the turning. I wonder
about the transferring process and if it would work; using a warm
iron.

I have used some iron-on material for applying photographs to tee-shirts,
with moderate success. I think you will have difficulty applying even
pressure between the *FLAT* iron and the curved surface of the turning. For
tee-shirts, the process is done with a towel *and* the shirt under the iron
to provide cushioning.

As to reversing the image--yes, if you're going onto a white or light
colored surface. If you're going onto a dark surface, there is a different
iron-on material which includes a black background, and which requires no
reversal. If you can get the process to work, you will have to decide for
each object, whether to treat it as white or black.
