Don Drumm knobs

Don Drumm knobs
I think I've mentioned that I am renovating my kitchen.
I had the cabinets refinished so I could use Don Drumm knobs.
Here's is one set of 10 pairs that I ordered.
Don Drumm is a world famous cast aluminum artist from Akron Ohio. His studio/store near Akron U is considered one of the finest gift shops in America.
His work tends to the brutal but he also has a naturalist streak, a Sun Face being a recurrent theme in his works.
Damn, these things look good on the drawers and doors!

Re: Don Drumm knobs
They look amazing!
Re: Don Drumm knobs
Nice! I'll be interested to see pics of the cabinets when the knobs are installed.
I found a couple of pieces of Drumm's work in a thrift store several years ago - didn't know a thing about him until then, but quickly appreciated his work.
Re: Don Drumm knobs
Those are fabulous! Did he also work in copper?

The molds for those are a nice shape for chocolates, too. REALLY NICE for door knobs & drawer pulls.
Re: Don Drumm knobs
I can't believe this, but I have you to thank for the fact that I recognized a cast aluminum sun face (dish? ashtray?) at a thrift shop today and brought it right home-if it's not Don Drumm it's his long lost twin! It's older, I think - nothing exactly like it at the website, but I have a question: what kind of care is recommended? Can I polish it with a metal polish? It's not got specific oxidized parts, but rather an overall matte-ish finish. I would leave it as is, but there are a couple of darker spots in the carved out face part of the sun face (it's like a 1" deep bowl with wavy rays coming out from the top of the bowl). I didn't see care instructions at the website -- did I just miss them? I have some nambe pieces that I polish up to a gorgeous shine, but I don't think this could evenhave such a shine, as it's rather rough in texture. I'd just like the browner areas to go away. Any ideas? THANKS SO MUCH for introducing me to Mr. Drumm's work!
