Hand carved bone awl made from ethically sourced natural bone. Lightweight, smooth finish, for leatherworking.
This hand carved bone awl is made from genuine, ethically sourced natural bone, shaped and finished by hand with traditional methods. The smooth surface and tapered point give great control, making it a trustworthy tool for handwork.
Historically, awls were essential tools for piercing, marking, and preparing materials such as leather, hide. Before major metalworking, bone was used because it was strong, lightweight, easily available, and gentle on softer materials. Unlike metal, bone helped the craftsmen to pierce without cutting fibers too much, preserving the strength of leather and fabric.
This bone awl shows that practicality. Because it is lightweight, it reduces hand fatigue during use and the polished finish gives a comfortable grip and smooth handling. The naturally hard structure of bone gives rigidity for working and is less brittle.
Used across centuries by cobblers, leatherworkers, and artisans, tools like this bone awl were favored for tasks which needed accuracy. It functions effectively as a bone tool for marking stitch lines, opening holes, and threads. It is suitable as a leatherworking awl where control is required, and works well as a piercing awl for soft to medium materials. Its shape also makes it a reliable craftsman awl.
