Pebble Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

Pebble Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

£4.00

A pebble-shaped cabinet knob with a flat face, 60 mm tall, cut from a single block of solid ash. Sold individually, in twelve finishes.

Wide and softly domed at the top, narrowing towards the bottom — an outline with no straight lines and no corner anywhere on it. Nothing is carved into the face, so what you get is the silhouette and the grain running the length of it. It is the least assertive shape in the range: on a plain door it reads as a smooth stone rather than as hardware, and it takes a full hand instead of a pinch.

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 narrow end down.
  4. Finish with a quarter turn of a screwdriver — no more. Overtightening pulls the insert out of the wood.

There are no straight edges to sight against, so tilt is harder to spot on this knob than on most — step back and check it against the edge of the door before the screw grips. 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. A curve that never repeats is harder to sand evenly than a straight edge, so the whole outline is worked by hand until the light runs round it without a flat spot. Nothing is carved into the face, which leaves the grain as the only marking on the knob — on a tall shape like this it runs almost the full 60 mm, so the figure changes noticeably from piece to piece.
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. With no groove or recess to trap dirt, this one stays clean with a wipe, but the bare wood still darkens where the hand lands. If you would rather it did not, oil them yourself before fitting.
