I think they'd do very well. They would make some awesome and expensive magnets too. Steve

These are really nice and it is kind of weird that you would put these on the board today. I bought an old desk today that is going to be perfect to rebuild into a jeweler's bench. The handles were missing and I was thinking of how I might make some new handles for it out of rocks. It had long handles where there are two holes in the drawer. I am no more encouraged to make handles. Great stuff.

Yeah, before I made my pulls, I made some knobs too, but the shapes don't fit in my kitchen. Yours look great. Look around the internet and see what people are trying to get for things like that and you will find that they go for $10-35 each!!! What are you attaching the stones to to mount them with?

They look great! They seem a little small compared to my cabinet pulls, which are larger than a quarter. I believe the pulls here in the states have a fairly consistent diameter. You might check Home Depot or Rockler online for dimensions.

Chuck, you'd be AMAZED at the variety of size/shape/color/material available for "stock drawer pulls." No such thing as consistent size. We recently remodeled our kitchen, looked at lots and lots and lots of pulls (in stores and online) before finally picking one style for us.

I like the idea of stone pulls, just not right for our place.

I guess I didn't conduct as broad a search when we remodeled our kitchen 2 yrs ago. Chuck

He he! Those are Cool!

What a magnificent way to use such inspiring stones! You can "use" them every day and enjoy them all the more. Nice job Claudia and Ricardo, always a pleasure to see your work.

Cheers,

Sparkles.
