Lots of turning as of late - Ron Brese - 09-04-2020
I've lurked in the Turner Forum in the past but lately I've been doing a lot more turning in my tool work. Chisel handles (Desert Ironwood) and the heads of awls (Olive and infused curly maple) have been the fare lately.

Beautiful work. I haven't been in my shop in 3 months due to a fractured vertebrae. Hoping to get in there soon

Ron -
What's the purpose of the little nicks in the shaft of the awl? Better grip?

Phil
It's really just for visual interest. So much more appealing than a straight smooth shaft.
