How do I remove wood, carved drawer pulls?
I picked up an old dresser that had carved wood pulls. I believe they depict 2 figs with leaves on either side. I know there are tiny nails but there must be glue as well. How can I safely remove the pulls to use on another project without ruining the drawer front (it's for another project). Thanks, Robin

Remove the nails carefully. See if it gives if not then it may have glue. I would try using a heat gun or blow dryer to melt the glue. Next project use small screws instead of nails. Good luck.
Those are valuable pulls, hope you can use them again.
Yes, that's the plan. I want to put them on an old, plain commode I will convert into a bathroom vanity.
