    my first awl

    Got this kit from CSU and used some of the maple burl I had on it. The burl is stabilized with ploy and buffed on the Beal wheels. This will be a present to a brother. Now I need to make me one!

    Sparky, that is great work! I've got a nice one like that, but I didn't make it...:-) It was a gift from Big Mike.

    Thanks for sharing that picture!

    Sparky,

    Nice job! That is almost to pretty to put in the shop.

    I really like the outcome of the burl.

    That's not a tool Sparky, that's a wall hanger. None of mine look like that.
    Really nice,
