For the drawer pull, I decided on a simple edge-mounted design. I wanted it to be black to match the legs, and to avoid another round of ebonizing with oak, I used some scraps of gaboon ebony I had on hand. After sorting through the bin, I found a couple pieces that were already sanded to appropriate thicknesses. They were both oversized in the other dimensions, but I left those alone for the initial L-shape glue-up.
I flush-trimmed the overhang and rounded-over the outside corner with a 1/8" radius bit.
The thicker piece is for the lip. I marked what I thought would be sufficient lip and trimmed off the excess. A few passes through the drum sander removed the rough edge left by the bandsaw. I used a piece of double-stick tape to temporarily attach the pull to a piece of 1/4" plywood as a support and to keep my fingers away from the bit. Conveniently, the plywood was the same thickness as the lip. Then I could round-over the lower outside edge of the lip.
The top of the drawer front gets a recess the accept the pull. To route the recess, I used the jig I made for my basement cabinet project. After setting the depth of cut for the pattern bit, I did a test run on a cutoff.
With the recess width defined, I could trim the pull to fit. I also sanded the pull and eased the edge on the back side of the lip.
The recess depth was right on, so marked out the location for the recess on the drawer front and clamped the jig in place.
With the pull protruding from the drawer front at a comfortable position, I marked and trimmed the excess.
With the trimmed edge sanded, I marked positions for the screw holes and drilled the countersinks and holes.
After a final test fit and some final sanding, the pull was ready for finish.
