Factory-made
metal knobs and pulls have some obvious benefits. They are sturdy,
inexpensive, and readily available. I use them for much of my
furniture. However, for my finest pieces I often use wood knobs
which I make myself. The benefits of doing this are:
- Wood
knob designs can be unique, like my furniture designs.
- I
can adjust the size of each knob to exactly fit its place on
the furniture.
- The
wood texture of the knobs matches the wood texture of the furniture.
- I
have my choice of many wood species, instead of just the few
colors of metal knobs.
- I
can integrate the pull into the door or drawer front.
Here
are a few wood knobs and pulls to get you thinking.
