    Default Couple of awls

    I got the kits from Jim Carroll’s. one is myrtle, the other mulga. The mulga has seven coats of Rustins Danish oil, I quite like it. Both turned using only the skew chisel. Love that desert timber! The myrtle is slightly spalted so won’t give a good polish.
    Cheers Swifty

    They look absolutely fantastic, desert Timbers are fantastic an do make excellent Timbers too use on tools.

    Cheers Matt.

    Nicely done. The mulga looks awesome.

    I'm partial to those kits, assuming the quality is still the same. There're a couple in regular use in my shop, althought one of them no longer has a wooden handle. ('Twas used as a punch by a numbnut. )
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
