Non-formal opinion poll
I am doing some restoration/fluff and buff on this chest. I'll have to make a few replacement drawers and fill in a few slats.
However, I'm not sure I like the current drawer pulls. The second pic shows a couple possible replacement choices. Just trying to get opinions on what everyone thinks might look good.

Glen, I would prefer the smaller pull.

Re: Non-formal opinion poll
If the choice is only between the 2 possible replacements, I am going against the masses, and choosing the larger. I think it has more of the time period look, and doesn't look to be a replacement.
If the choice includes the current pulls, I say keep them. They look like they belong, at the very least make the choice after your fluff and buff.

Re: Non-formal opinion poll
I like a smaller pull for that, but I'd pick something more like this, if you can find them:

I pick the original pulls if that is an option.

Re: Non-formal opinion poll
Glenn, that looks like a great knife storage chest. I hope that you can find or make replacements for the missing drawers. And better yet, matching replacement knobs!

Don’t normally throw in my two cents. I like the original if you can do that

The originals are too big for those small drawers. I prefer the small brass ones.

Re: Non-formal opinion poll
I refinished a Jeweler's Cabinet a few years back and kept the original drawer pulls. I recommend you do the same on yours.

Awesome work. That looks amazing.
