Finishing
the Grip
The
finishing process takes place in three stages. First we punch the
holes for the screws, then we flatten the cusps and make sure that
the grip will not rock, and finally we put our beeswax finish on
the grips.
 |
Punching
the Holes
We
mark the position of the holes using a center punch. A special
punch set up is used which is guided by our marks.

The
Punch
This
is a hand punch we have set up so that it is devoted to cabinet
grips.

 |
Flattening
the Cusps
Each
end of the grip is heated and the cusps flattened with a hammer.
At the end of the flattening process the grip must be straight
and the cusps flat so the grip doesn't rock.

Some
Finished Grips
Here
are some finished cabinet grips. The two on the left are a
slightly smaller size than the two on the right. The cusp
styles are from left to right: ball and spear, heart, bean
and heart again.
