Picked a knob for my big ash table....

Hello everyone,

Thank you everyone for your suggestions on knobs for my big ash table. My
intentions were to try to turn a few out of ash, maple, walnut, ipe and
apple to see what I liked. I attempted to turn a knob today on a small lathe
at work but bailed when I figured out how long it would really take.

I dropped down to Lee Valley at lunch to look at the display boards of
handles and knobs. I ended up buying a pewter knob and I do really like it.

Thanks for looking,

David.

Personally I'm not digging it. :/

But as long as you like it. :)

LOL Good one David. Don't ever tell you parents that you bailed because
of the time required to turn a knob. It might rattle them should you decide
to redo their kitchen again. '~)
