The pulls on this dresser look like they're turned ebony and really complement
the piece very nicely. I'm building this dresser now but don't have a lathe and
wouldn't know how to use it if I did. If I did know, I'd probably ebonize some
maple.
I'm making a compromise by buying these pulls from Rockler.
They are the closest things I could find that still match the style of the
dresser. The Maloof pulls, to me, are most like Shaker peg meets Art Deco.
I can't find anything like them anywhere else. I've gone through page after
page of online catalogs looking. If you know of a more appropriate pull, let
me know.
Do the Rockler pulls really detract from the rest of the piece?
The Rockler pulls have a dark pewter finish but I'd really prefer black which is
not available. How do you think spray paint would hold up?
Thanks,
Paul
