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:
- A hand-turned handle from your choice of premium domestic or exotic hardwoods;
- A heat-treated steel blade and brass ferrule; and
- 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!

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.
Wow! What a gorgeous awl. It fits so nicely in my hand too. This is something that will be handed down.
Thanks Charles! Its gratifying to know I've made a tool that you'll not only enjoy using but will pass down to the next generation of woodworkers in your family.
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!

Really nicely made awl. Handle is comfortable and nicely finished. It arrived with a nice note from the maker. I would definitely recommend.
As usual, the craftsmanship is exceptional. You can find cheaper, but you will not find better.
