Hi,
Quickly made this awl, with pieces I had here and there.
It's made of Macassar Ebony for the handle, a copper ferrule, brass interface sleeve, and hard steel.
The wood has a part of sapwood witch is lighter than the black heartwood. It was unexpected, but this has a great advantage, if you lay it down on the bench top, the heavier eccentric part will prevent if from rolling down to the floor.
See picture 4.
