Flower Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

Flower Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

£5.00

A flower-shaped cabinet knob with six petals, 44 mm tall, cut from a single block of solid ash. Sold individually, in twelve finishes.

The petals are cut right through the thickness of the block rather than carved into the face, so the shape reads the same from every angle and there is a scallop between each one for a fingertip to sit in. At 40 mm across it is one of the smaller knobs in the range, which keeps it from looking childish on a kitchen drawer — though in one of the pale colours on a white wardrobe it is exactly that, and deliberately so.

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.

With six petals, a small rotation is almost invisible, so this is the most forgiving shape in the range to fit — there is no wrong way up. 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. Twelve inside and outside curves have to run into each other without a flat, and the tight scallops between the petals are sanded with a shaped block rather than by machine. Two of the six petals meet the grain end on, so they take the oil a shade darker than the rest — that is the wood, not an uneven coat.
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.

Dust gathers in the scallops between the petals; a dry brush clears them faster than a cloth. Unfinished knobs have no coating and darken with handling.
