Let customers speak for us
from 75 reviewsI enjoy buying tools from independent small businesses, because I feel more connected to the creative process when I understand a little about who produced my tool. My ebony birdcage no. 2 awl is gorgeous! Delicate, balanced and with such a velvet like feel in my hand. I could not ask for a better execution; the fit and finish is flawless. I could not be more pleased. Thank you!
I Love the Winding Sticks….. Gorgeous n Superb Craftsmanship……..I will be a return customer!!!
While I have not had the opportunity to use it yet, the craftsmanship is amazing. This is a beautiful tool and I have no doubt will be used often on projects.
Now I need to learn how to use them. Very happy with the build.
My new marking gauge is an excellent woodworking tool and estheticly very handsome. The weight is just right and the English boxwood is an added benefit when using the guide. I’m very pleased with my purchase and the craftsmanship.
The Spanish Cedar Winding Sticks are absolutely breathtaking. The Tiger Maple inlays are perfect, and the fit and finish is flawless. These are the most beautifully crafted tools in my tool chest.
It looks even more beautiful in person than I expected. It's a great size and a very nice addition to my shop.
This awl is great looking. I have not yet used the awl; although I'm use there won't beany issue. Communication with the seller was excellent. I would highly recommend this seller to anyone.
