Suggested Uses

These large ball knobs are most frequently used to refresh wide dresser drawers, large cabinet doors, entryway storage benches, or oversized toy boxes. They’re also a hit with woodworkers tackling classic farmhouse vanities, midcentury sideboards, craft room organizers, and heirloom trunks. The extra-wide base and sturdy weight are particularly suited for applications that see frequent use or demand visual impact, and their solid maple structure makes them a good fit for painted, stained, or multi-step decorative finishing. For a clever twist, try custom woodburning or adding letter decals to create personalized kids’ furniture pulls or segmented coat racks.
