Hello fellow hermits and woodticks. Does anyone know of a good source for a antique type door knob? It's about time for me to close off for the winter.
Here's my shack so far.
Thanks,
John

I've used this place for many years in furniture restoration. High quality stuff. Never dabbled in their door hardware which they do carry but I suspect you would be happy

If it's for a handle, you could make one out of a small log to tie in with the rest of your cabin which looks amazing by the way! I made one for my sauna door. Or Lee Valley has neat stuff too! [img=null]null[/img]

Thanks for the informative replies. The wooden handle has got me thinking now and I may try that. There is lots of diamond willow here that would suit the purpose.
Thanks again.

Find an interesting stick, root or tree branch, polish and stain it.
I have this on my storage shed door:
