New! Honey Brook No. 2 Birdcage Awl

The new Honey Brook No. 2 Birdcage Awl promises the same great feel and performance as the original, but with a slightly different but classic aesthetic. I created this handle design in response to a customer's specific request. The handle features a slightly wider bead behind the ferrule which some users might find provides some greater leverage.

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 No. 2 Birdcage Awl features:

1. A hand-turned handle from your choice of cherry, walnut, or tiger maple
2. A heat-treated steel blade and brass ferrule; and
3. Traditional hand-mixed shellac followed by my own shop made 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 No. 2 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!
