I found a nice piece of Black Walnut to use on the scratch awl hardware I made. I was going to nickle plate them but decided to just polish the parts and let them go to a natural patina from there. I have a small collection of awls and like the patina the older ones have. I had to buy the acorn nuts so I bought stainless steel nuts and washers. I turned a small shoulder on the acorn nuts to center the washer as the holes were a bit larger than the bolt. Take a look. These are a bolt through design and therefore would not benefit from a ferrule. Here is another look at the hardware I made on the metal lathe and a link to that thread. When I went to turn the handles I realized it would be a chore to recess the heads. I did cut the heads all the same size but didn't think to size them to a drill size, duh. I ended up using my boring head I purchased from Craft supplies. @lew posted this video in his January 15, 2020 Wednesday's Wisdom thread and I was inspired to purchase one. Got it dialed in and everyone was a great fit.
