The bead could be applied, but making the bead separately with hand tools will take longer.

I don't know how common scratching straight beads is, but now that I've got my small beader set up so that it's working well (and safely), I'll do a better job with it than I could scratching.

The aesthetics may not be that great, but ..I can always take the doors apart and remake them if it doesn't work out.
