Yeah, I've been there. I am wondering if maybe a crafts supply place is more likely to have it than a woodworking place. Surely there are crafts people who put all manner of decoration on the handles of their drawers and cabinets, rather than use commercial stuff.

My purpose is to make a dramatic look on old cabinets for when we sell this place. New cabinets are outrageously expensive and right now I can't justify the time. Dramatic pulls and handles will detract the eye from the 1970s cabinets, which are in good shape, just not current style.

How about just simple rustic pulls made from branches of local bushes? All you need is a drill, sandpaper, and lopers.
