I saw or read where they were using spools for knobs. I plan to do the same. I'm thinking I will get dh to slice them into, and drill a whole to attach with nut and bolt, or use them whole and add a cut button on the ends. Would still have to use nut and bolt to attach. My dresser has no handles just finger groves and the drawers often go too far back when drawers are closed making them very hard to open. I think this will be a good fix. I too have some in canning jars sitting in my sewing room.
