Hexagon Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

Hexagon Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

£4.00

A hexagonal cabinet knob, 50 mm across the points, cut from a single block of solid ash. Sold individually, in twelve finishes.

Six straight sides, a flat face and nothing else — the shape does the work and the grain does the decorating. It is wider than it is tall, which stops it looking like a bolt head and lets it sit comfortably on a drawer front. Mounted point to point it lines up with the edges of a door; turned a sixth of a turn it stands on a flat side instead. Both are correct, but only one of them should appear in the same room.

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, in the orientation you have chosen.
  4. Finish with a quarter turn of a screwdriver — no more. Overtightening pulls the insert out of the wood.

Six straight sides show tilt immediately: sight the top edge against the edge of the door before the screw grips. Decide once whether the points run horizontally or vertically and keep it the same on every door — a hexagon rotated by a few degrees on one door out of eight is the first thing anyone notices. 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. Six sides mean six angles that all have to close: if one is out, the hexagon looks lopsided from across the room, so each one is cut and then checked before sanding. The edges are broken by hand — just enough that they are not sharp, not so much that the shape goes soft. The face is left flat, so the grain is the only pattern and every knob differs.
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.

Nothing on this shape traps dust. Unfinished knobs have no coating and darken evenly with handling; if you would rather they did not, oil them yourself before fitting.
