I saw these last year and noticed them again this year in the paper "pic below." Its an idea? for some of you who are a little crafty in the fabrication dept and like rocks, they seem to be catching on with home owners. Not that bad of an idea if you used some exotic stone.

A friend has made these for all his kitchen cabinets. His are all rounds. Very nice way to display good looking rocks. He used the screw and hardware from the old knobs.

I made several of these out of Lavic jasper a few years back. This was a left over. The brass got scratched up in storage.

My wife wants to use the natural shape of the polished glass or rocks that I tumble as knobs. First things first though we have to finish painting the trim in the living room. Ha ha

I like the "Double Agate" concept from the newspaper. However, I will probably get outvoted and end up trying the single pull circular knobs that jakesrocks has pictured.

I made some for my niece who lives in North Carolina, but is from Michigan's U.P. She decorated her bathroom in a Lake Superior theme. I used tumbled Lake Superior rocks (not agates). I drilled holes in the backs and then epoxied in bolts with the heads cut off. I found some aluminum spacers at Home Depot that were about a quarter inch long to hold the rock away from the drawers a bit. The turned out nice and she really liked them.
