>I'll give it a go - looks like the drawers are narrow enough that one handle per drawer will do the trick - right, Ernie? Or, tools are heavy, do you want to have two per drawer?

I'm thinking a nice Stanley #1 with two holes drilled clear thru.

>One handle per drawer is enough I'll give Bob my address or you can e-mail me direct. I need a total of 21 handles and I will wright in the bottom of the drawer who sent it and where it came from. I like that #1 idea it dosent even have to be a Stanley.

Count me in...

>That is one pretty table, sideboard whatever you want to call it Janderr. Hows about a little info on woods finishes. Is it your design? I've been planning something like that to park my TV on.

Scott, hijacking a thread again.

>I did a show with some folks, Asheville Arts & crafts Conference, and we chose Greene&Greene as the theme for our booth. So rather than than copy a Greene&Greene piece of furniture I decided to design my own and used some timber frame elements from the Gamble house to guide the design. I often approach furniture design using japanese timber frame as a guide. When I settled the design on paper I went wood hunting and found a wonderful 8/4 stick of African mohogany which then settled that issue. That stick provided the legs and book matched panels.

To finish I used multiple coats of linseed oil thinned with turpentine and rubbed on with a very fine powder of brick dust. To get the dust I pulverized a crumbling 100 year old or so brick and straied that through a fine mesh stainer. It works like rottenstone, filling the wood and polishing, but the brick's color is a better match for mohog and the mica in old brick gives a little sparkle, or so I like to believe. I finalized the finish with an orange tinted Dugay paste wax.

Historic pull on its way ... but where too?

>I've found a real corker draw pull for Ernie. It even comes with documentation about its history.

Can anyone tell where I should send this historic piece of woodworking ephemera?
