Carved Hexagon Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

Carved Hexagon Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

£5.00

A hexagonal cabinet knob with a triangle carved into the face, 50 mm across the points, from a single block of solid ash. Sold individually, in twelve finishes.

Six straight sides on the outside, three on the inside: the hollow is a rounded triangle set inside the hexagon, so the two shapes sit against each other and the flat between them narrows and widens as it goes round. The recess is shallow but wide enough for a thumb, which is what separates this from our plain hexagon — that one is something to look at, this one is something to pull.

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, in the orientation you have chosen.
  4. Finish with a quarter turn of a screwdriver — no more. Overtightening pulls the insert out of the wood.

The triangle inside the hexagon fixes the orientation: a hexagon on its own looks the same every sixth of a turn, but with the triangle in it there are only three positions, and the wrong one is visible. Decide which way the triangle points and repeat it on every door. 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. Two straight-sided shapes on the same face leave nowhere to hide: the triangle has to sit central in the hexagon or the border between them goes visibly uneven, so it is set out from the outer edges rather than from the screw hole. The three corners of the hollow are rounded by hand — cut sharp they would chip on the first knock.
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 recess is shallow and open, so a cloth reaches all of it. Unfinished knobs have no coating and darken with handling, the hollow first.
