Fan Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

£4.00

A cabinet knob with one square corner and one long curve, 44 mm across, cut from a single block of solid ash. Sold individually, in twelve finishes.

Most knobs are symmetrical, so they look the same whichever way you fit them. This one does not: turn it and the curve points somewhere else. Fitted with the corner up, a row of them reads as a line of small peaks; fitted with the curve down, the same row goes quiet. It is the kind of decision you only get to make with a shape that has a direction.

Mounting
  1. Check that your door already has a mounting hole. If not, drill a 4 mm hole through the front.
  2. Decide which way the curve should point before you tighten anything. This knob is not symmetrical.
  3. Pass the M4 × 30 mm screw through the hole from the back of the door.
  4. Thread the screw into the metal insert in the knob and tighten by hand, holding the knob at the angle you want.
  5. Finish with a quarter turn of a screwdriver — no more. Overtightening pulls the insert out of the wood.

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. The curve is worked across the grain, so the growth rings run out along it and no two knobs land the same way. Colour and figure vary from piece to piece — if you are fitting a whole kitchen, order them together and we will cut them from the same board where we can.
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.

Unfinished knobs have no coating. They will pick up the marks of daily use and slowly darken. If you would rather they did not, oil them yourself before fitting.
