Mello those are the original pulls I think, the middle is hollow, so you see the cabinet thru them, seems like wood though. I chose to only put two on, as you don't need 4 for the doors, like what was originally on there. I couldn't find replacement handles/pulls with a 2 inch on center screw pattern. Very wierd spacing not redily available anymore. 34_40 thanks, it was a quick fix project that gave me some instant gratification. Need those from time to time.

New get instant gratification project while avoiding bigger projects that cost money and time!
I was walking to lunch and stumbled across this sideboard. Well made vintage late 50's to 70's not sure of dates. But 35 bucks later, and much knee pain it's getting refinished for the right spot in the house. It's well built with dove tail drawers, but there is a lot of laminate vs. solid wood, and plywood. No markings as to the maker. Anyway wanted something for the wifes collection of china, etc., so I bought it, even though I can scarcely aford the time to refinish.
First shots are how it was, then after dark walnurt danish oil(2 coats) and one coat mahogany stain, here is where we are at now.
