Members slipangle Posted March 13, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 13, 2015 Thought I'd better get in here and update this thread. My sincere thanks to you all for the support of my little tool making operation. Here are some pics of the most recent ones I've made. All have been sold but I want to let anyone interested know that I am currently making some more. I'm afraid I had only one small piece of that light-colored boxwood. So I am now back using my rosewood as I have more of it. I'm also trying a new shape as can bee seen in awl haft #9. based on the classic shape of an Osborne or Gomph rosewood handled tool. Also, I have decided to up my price just a bit. Hope that is understandable. Time and materials what they are, I just couldn't justify leaving them at the old price. My thanks to those of you who have purchased at the new price without batting an eye. I appreciate it. I am now asking $85 for these, plus 5 dollars shipping. If you have any inquiries, please send me a personal message. Thanks very much. Scott #'s 7 & 8 #9 #10

Members capsterdog Posted March 14, 2015 Members Report Posted March 14, 2015 These are wonderful, I bought early on and it beautiful and very functional for me..I love mine it fits my hand well and comfortable! Piece of art!
Members rmr Posted March 15, 2015 Members Report Posted March 15, 2015 I just received my awl Haft from Scott Today- its a piece of art !!! I have 4 other hafts( 2 Bob Douglas, another custom built, and a osborne). This is hands down ( 100x) the most comfortable one I have. The slight swell at the end gives a very comfortable place to rest your thumb on - which really helps when pushing the awl through the leather. It also has a very functional, as well as aesthetically pleasing, small raised pice of nickel silver that has been placed in line with the awl blade- this allows you, by feel, to be sure that the awl blade is correctly aligned with the stitch line . There rosewood is outstanding. If you are looking for an awl haft- go no further- this is the best one I have seen and had my hands on. Scott has been a pleasure to work with and is truly a craftsman. KUDOS Bob R
Members leathertoolz Posted March 17, 2015 Members Report Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Howdy Manypawz, I just finished these two. Ramrod wanted one in a lighter wood so I used a small piece of European boxwood. The thinner one went to him. But I have the other, fuller one. 1 1/8 inch diameter. About 4 3/16ths long from butt end to end of chuck. Very comfortable in the hand. This one is available , if you like. Let me know if it something you might like. Thanks for the note, Scott Hello I am interested in this awls. Can you send me an email : leathertoolz@gmail.com Thanks Edited March 17, 2015 by leathertoolz
