In reply to Cathy. Yes!! I held up for years! I have since replaced it because a reader here shared a link to the exact handles that she found on ebay. I was thrilled to find a matching one! :) (and yes, I bet that would help strengthen it!)

Great idea! I hope it is holding up well!
I wonder if you mix fiberglass fibers (for mixing in concrete)with Sculpy if that would give it more strength?

In reply to Kathleen. Hi Kathleen, and yay! That's great. :) And yes, this is a great solution to so many things, even missing decorative molding (like on this dresser). Also, I don't know if you saw it, but one of my readers above in the comments shared an ebay listing for an almost identical handle to to this. SO...if your handle is in fact the same, this one might work for you...here is the link. Good luck! :) xo

I recently purchased a buffet so similar to this piece….and, it was missing THE SAME HANDLE. I have scoured thrift stores and GOOGLE trying to find one to replace it. NOW I know I’ll just create a replacement. THANK YOU!!!

In reply to Courtney. Like minded!! ;) What a great idea that is! I actually just made another wood decorative piece that was missing from a dresser. This works wonderfully for that! But, what you suggest for the handle would be great!

If you do this with not-so-precious metal clay (like bronze – since it’s cheaper), you may get a handle that holds up well to ware and tear. I have a dresser that is missing decorative handles like these and I have been considering it. Funny how you think you’re the only one to think up such crazy ideas until you meet a fellow artist doing the same thing! Good to see that great minds think alike!
