I have begun producing and selling custom made wooden shift knobs. Right now each knob is made of oak or cherry wood and hand chiseled on a lathe. Because these are hand carved every knob is slightly different, and can be made to order. I currently have 4 stains in-house that I am using and I'm looking to add more.
You decide the shape and size you'd like to have made. Obviously if you are out of state I'll do my best to take photos and keep you updated on your order before shipping. I want you, the customer, to be happy. But as customers, you do have to remember these are hand made and fitment varies.
A few examples of my work to date:
I can make your shift knob as short as 3 inches and as tall as you'd like (most people opt for a 4 inch shift knob but I have turned out a few as tall as 6 inch).
Right now there are a small handful of shift knobs already in cars running around Atlanta. I've also got a handful down at The Consignment Shed for anyone who may want to swing by and check them out. If you'd like to see one in person please feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll do my best to find someone close by to let you see what I've got. Hopefully a few of the guys will pop in with their reviews of the products so far. Personally, I know I love the feeling of having real wood in my car.
FITMENT:
Because these are custom made and hand made, fitments are not exact. I've had a few of the knobs fit onto stock BMW shifters perfectly but most have run a bit loose. I'm opting to continue boring at this size because it is easier to make a loose knob fit correctly versus having to have a knob redrilled. One layer of electrical tape is plenty to give your shift knob a nice snug fit. More than that and you risk cracking the knob.
PRICING
These are hand made and custom ordered. Prices are going to vary depending on complexity, finish, size, etc. That being said please understand that I DO want to talk to you and find a deal that not only is acceptable financially, but gets you a product you really enjoy.
