G Plan doors oak conkers handles
G Plan doors - original handles
G Plan doors - oak conker handles
The handles on this G Plan unit were broken off, so they have been sent away to have FSC sustainable teak replacements made.
In the mean time I have screwed these conkers from oak trees onto the doors, using the same screws that attached the original handles. This also stops the screws from getting lost.
It looks quite good, perhaps there is a future in eco hybrid furniture, using actual unworked things from nature?
We have a friend who uses old tea bags leaves for pillow stuffing. True!
