Smooth Heart Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

Smooth Heart Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

£4.00

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

Nothing is carved into it: the outline is cut, the edges are softened, and the face is left as one clean surface with the grain running across it. That makes it the quieter of our two hearts — it reads as a shape rather than as an ornament, so it works on a child's wardrobe without the rest of the room having to agree with it. In one of the darker finishes most people see a rounded block first and the heart second.

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. With no groove or recess to look at, the outline and the surface are the whole product: the curve between the two lobes is cleaned up by hand, the point at the bottom is rounded just enough not to catch, and the face is sanded flat rather than domed. The grain is the only pattern on the knob, so no two are the same.
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. On a flat face the marks of daily use show evenly rather than collecting in one place, and the wood darkens over time. If you would rather it did not, oil them yourself before fitting.
