Heart Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

£5.00

A heart-shaped cabinet knob, 44 mm across, cut from a single block of solid ash. Sold individually, in twelve finishes.

The face is hollowed just inside the edge, so the heart reads as an outline rather than a solid lump, and the recess gives your thumb somewhere to sit when you pull. At 44 mm it takes a whole grip rather than a pinch. The usual place for it is a child's wardrobe or a bedside drawer, though in one of the darker finishes it stops being sentimental and simply reads as a shape.

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 heart upright.
  4. Finish with a quarter turn of a screwdriver — no more. Overtightening pulls the insert out of the wood.

A heart set a few degrees off vertical is easy to see, so hold the knob in the position you want through that last quarter turn. 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 recess in the face is cut in one pass and the whole outline is rounded by hand afterwards, including the point at the bottom, so nothing on the knob is sharp. Colour and figure vary from piece to piece; if you are fitting a whole room, 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.
