The birdcage awl, used to start and ream holes, is an essential piece of a traditional hand tool woodworker's kit. I drew inspiration for the handles on the Honey Brook Birdcage Awl from classic vintage tools in my shop.

I designed the size and shape of the handle to maximize both comfort and control. Every hand I make is hand-turned to order with the use of CNC machines or lathe duplicators. 

The Honey Brook Birdcage Awl features:

  1. A hand-turned handle from your choice of premium domestic or exotic hardwoods;
  2. A heat-treated steel blade and brass ferrule; and
  3. Traditional hand-mixed shellac followed by Alfie Shine hard wax.

After inspection, I hand-stamp each tool with my maker's mark prior to delivery. I stand behind every tool that leaves my shop with a simple unconditional guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied contact me for a replacement or full refund.

The Honey Brook Birdcage Awl is a tool that will last a lifetime and you'll be proud to pass it on to the next generation of artisans in your family!

Both beautiful and highly useful

The birdcage awl is invaluable when transferring holes and/or marking out hinges. The square point means that with a twist you can create a precise divot that drill bits fit into and don't wander. It's like a center punch for wood! No more guessing at where to drill holes for screws or dowels.

Just a wonderful item. Visually beautiful, functionally ideal, and perfectly balanced in the hand. A simple tool executed to the highest level. You’ll smile every time you pick it up.

Thank you Jon!

I appreciate your glowing review and am thrilled to know that one of my tools has found a home across the pond in the south of England. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come!

As usual, the craftsmanship is exceptional. You can find cheaper, but you will not find better.
