    Solid Wood Shift Knobs

    Hey r3v, been meaning to do this for a while now and finally got some time to get this started.

    I'm a furniture maker / designer working out of a shop in Toronto, Canada who decided to do a few of these to combine love of the car and my craft.

    Made a few preliminary designs for fun today and wanted to get some pictures put up to see if anyone would be interested? Sorry for the lack of quality pics and that the interior is a mess but it's cold out thurr.

    I found #2 to be the nicest to drive with in my opinion, and also like it visually the most.

    I will custom make to your specs, but I am not staining anything. It's a lame way to make cheap wood look like something else. I want to show the true character of the wood!

    I have lots of Walnut, Maple, Oak around right now. $50 SHIPPED in the US or Canada, will ship worldwide for actual shipping costs.

    #1 Rounded Spalted Maple, approx 4" tall, Satin Finish


    #2 Walnut Flat Top, approx 3" tall, Satin Finish


    #3 Walnut Round Top, approx 3" tall, Satin Finish


    And last but not least, for all those guys who wish they had the biggest knob around (drift b0ys). Imagine it would also work well convincing that special lady in your life *wink wink* that your e30 is a great car and not a total POS.

    #4 Walnut Round Top, approx 10" tall, Satin Finish



    Knobs fit snug with 1 layer of electrical tape around the shift lever.

          Those would look even better with some sealer. :up:

            They are pressed on, snug fit and electrical tape.

            I can put a gloss finish over if thats what people want, but I don't love that look. They are sealed though.

                        could I send you some purple heart or cocobolo and have you turn one?

                        Looking for one like the first one. what would be the cost?
