This is my first post , so please be gentle!
I don't have any Wip photos, but here are a few shots of an awl I made on my Barker lathe.
The materials are Stainless Steel (not sure what grade, but it's non magnetic), Cocobolo and silver steel (which I hardened and tempered in my kiln).
I am a cabinetmaker by trade, but am starting to make woodworking tools...

Besides a 4 morse mandrel this is the first
real project I've completed on my lathe.
I need to get some tooling and make a radius turner for the lathe I think.
Thanks for looking.
Adam.
