Description
Pull To Open by Kathy K. McClellan is a photographic image created for Day 333 of the 365 Challenge (Journal 2022).
This metal pull handle was screwed onto an antique desk drawer. The original handle may have looked like this but this one does not appear to be that old.
The edges are smooth, no wear of the paint and the dimensions are nearly perfect. All of this says to me that the handle is a reproduction and not original to the desk.
When I saw this pull handle, it didn't matter to me that it wasn't original to the desk. I was fascinated by the contrast between the warm wood and cold metal. The stark black metal handle stood out against the soft brown wood drawing me in to take a closer look.

Love the grain!

To me it looks like quarter-sawn, red oak. It's a very expensive way to saw wood but produces a unique ring pattern.
