The following is a pictorial of the drawer pulls made for the Harlequin Table.
The wood used was what-I-think-is-Ebony (of some type). It was a board discovered at The Timber Bloke – right colour and very dense. Ebony helps unify the different woods here.
The design needed to blend in with the case (i.e. be rounded), small (so that they did not dominate), and have grip (because they would be small).
The “grippy part” could be an indent in the underside of the pull. This was routed at the start ...
This is the result …
The indents are 2mm deep. The pull blank started at 8mm.
The plan was to attach the pulls with a mortice-and-tenon joint. The tenon was created by ploughing a 1mm deep groove on both sides of the blank (above and below) ...
The main section was ripped away on the table saw …
These were cut out on the bandsaw and cleaned up on a disk sander …
Now the blanks could be shaped. My old Zyliss vise was handy here …
The result ..
