Dotted Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

Dotted Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

£5.00

A dotted cabinet knob, 60 mm tall, cut from a single block of solid ash. Sold individually, in twelve finishes.

The outline is two circles, one large over one small, and the face is covered in small round dimples set out in staggered rows across the whole surface. They are shallow — this is texture rather than pattern — but there is always one under the thumb, so the knob grips even with a wet hand. On the coloured finishes the pigment gathers in every dimple, which turns the face into a field of dots a shade darker than the flat around them.
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, holding the knob upright with the small circle at the bottom.
  4. Finish with a quarter turn of a screwdriver — no more. Overtightening pulls the insert out of the wood.

The rows of dimples run in straight lines, so any tilt reads as crooked rows rather than as a crooked knob — set it upright before the screw grips and keep the small circle at the bottom across a run. 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. Every dimple is cut and then worked round by hand so no rim is left standing; on a face this small a single ragged one is visible from across the room. They are set out from the outline rather than from the screw hole, which is why they stay evenly spaced right up to the edge.
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.

Every dimple is somewhere for dust to sit; a dry brush clears them all in one pass, a cloth does not. Unfinished knobs have no coating and darken with handling.
