Here's another door or drawer pull that is integrated into the door.
Construction... Notice that about an inch of the edge of the door is a different piece of lumber from the rest. I start the pull construction with that strip not yet glued on. I carve the big recess into the face of the door using an Arbortech blade and sanding disks on a 4" body grinder. Then I position the edge strip on the door to mark where the fingertip recess needs to go. I take the strip off the door, and hog out the recess with a plunge router. Then I bandsaw the curve on that edge. Then I glue it on to the rest of the door, and sand until it flush and shaped correctly.
The design can be used as a door pull or as a drawer pull.
