registrar Report post Posted June 3, 2013 I'm upholstering an ottoman of an arne jacobsen egg chair. I need to handsew the top piece to the bottom piece of leather including the welting. My awls just don't have the correct curve to go through all the leather pieces. Wanted to know if anyone has a source for an awl with almost an L-shape design. Thanks for some help.
