Carved Flower Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

Carved Flower Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

£6.00

A carved flower cabinet knob with six petals, 60 mm tall, from a single block of solid ash. Sold individually, in twelve finishes.

Each petal is hollowed into a teardrop, deepest at the outer edge and running out to nothing where it meets the middle, so the six of them meet in a raised star at the centre. It is the largest and the most worked knob in the range: at 55 mm across it takes a full hand, and the depth of the carving means the shape changes as the light moves across the room. On a plain wardrobe door it does the job that a piece of hardware and a piece of decoration would otherwise do separately.
Product details

Mounting
  1. Check that your door already has a mounting hole. If not, drill a 4 mm hole through the front.
  2. Pass the M4 × 30 mm screw through the hole from the back of the door.
  3. Thread the screw into the metal insert in the knob and tighten by hand.
  4. Finish with a quarter turn of a screwdriver — no more. Overtightening pulls the insert out of the wood.

Six petals mean six positions that all look the same, so this is the most forgiving knob in the range to set. What does matter is size: at 55 × 60 mm it is the largest we make, so measure the clearance to the edge of the door and to the next knob along before you drill. If your door is thinner than 24 mm, the screw will stand proud inside the insert; that is normal and does not affect how the knob holds.
Materials & workshop

Wood: solid ash, single block. Hardware: threaded metal insert and M4 × 30 mm screw.

Eleven of the twelve finishes use ADLER Legno Dura-Öl, an Austrian oil-based finish. It leaves a matt, open-pored surface — the colour sits in the wood rather than on top of it, so a green knob still reads as ash and not as painted board — while resisting water and household chemicals the way a varnish would. The oil is certified to EN 71-3 for the migration of heavy metals, and to DIN 53160-1 and 53160-2 for saliva and perspiration resistance. The twelfth option, Unfinished, is bare sanded ash with no coating; it is the palest of the set and darkens with handling.

Cut, shaped, sanded and finished in our own workshop in Roman, Romania. This is the longest of the knobs to make: six hollows, each one running out to nothing at the centre, and every one of them has to end at the same point or the raised star between them goes crooked. Two of the six petals are cut across the grain and take the oil noticeably darker — that is the wood, and it is the reason no two of these look alike.
Care

Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth. The oil finish resists water and household cleaners, so no special product is needed and none is recommended.

The petals are deep enough that a cloth skips the bottom of them; a dry brush clears them properly. Unfinished knobs have no coating and darken with handling, the raised centre first.
