Re: words carved in spiral format
1) Use the Spiral Gadget to create an Archimedes Spiral
2) Create your Text
3) Use the Text On Curve Tool, Text Position: On Curve, text Alignment: Align To Curve to wrap your text on the spiral vector

Re: words carved in spiral format
If you have an existing spiral you, of course, don't need the spiral gadget.

Re: words carved in spiral format
You can also do both spiral AND tapered text mapped onto a 3d model, as I did on a YOYO I made for a friend's young daughter when she won a prize at the state fair in Florida.

Hi Richard,
The Yo-Yo Tapered/Spiral Text looks great! Will you share your method of how you did that, please? (I’m guessing distort between two vectors, but perhaps you did something else?)

Re: words carved in spiral format
Here is a .dxf vector file to look at Michael. I created the spirals with the array tool I think, then used Copperplate Gothic Bold font and distort tool to squeeze the text between the pairs of curves in the spiral. I look back on some of my early Aspire tinkerings and can't help but remember something a co-worker told me long long ago when something he did worked right the first time. "Sometimes I amaze even myself ..."
