Fluted Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

Fluted Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

£5.00

A fluted cabinet knob, 60 mm tall, carved 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 worked into soft flutes that run the length of it — no sharp edges anywhere, just a surface that rises and falls under the thumb. The flutes follow the grain, which means the light picks out the ridges and the pigment sits deeper in the hollows, so the knob reads as striped even in a plain finish. It is the most tactile shape in the range and the one people reach for twice.
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 flutes run vertically, so a knob fitted off square reads as crooked stripes rather than as a crooked shape — which is worse. Set it upright before the screw grips, and keep the small circle at the bottom on every door in 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. Flutes are unforgiving: each ridge has to end at the same depth as the one beside it, and sanding across them flattens the crests, so the whole face is worked along the flutes and never across. The hollows hold more oil than the ridges, which is why a coloured knob comes out banded — that is the shape doing it, not an uneven coat.
Care

Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth, running along the flutes rather than across them. The oil finish resists water and household cleaners, so no special product is needed and none is recommended.

Dust settles in the hollows between the ridges; a dry brush clears them in one pass. Unfinished knobs have no coating and darken with handling, the crests first.
