    Custom wood shift knobs

    I decided to try and make some wood shift knobs. There are no machines that i am using. I am just using a wood knife and a a grinder with a metal polishing disk on it. im going to make 3 sizes small,medium and large. i started by making a large one. I will be staining this one cherry and clear coating it. I was just wondering what you guys think. Im not done with this first one still have to make it skinnier and sand it. heres a couple pics and sorry they are shitty.

      I would definitely taper the bottom to meet the boot if I were you. Also, the lumpiness really bothers me, personally. I would try and see if I can find a rod of appropriate diameter that is already nice and round and then work with that. It'd save you tons of time and effort and it'd look better too.

            Can you make some with a more mushroom style top to them?

              I would go to value village and cut a leg off a old wooden chair before I used that flinstones looking logg shifter. Use a lathe and a really nice dark wood next time.

                Depending on the stain he uses, it could end up being pretty dark. I definitely see potential in it, would pair nicely with a wooden Nardi wheel.

                              what happened to using beer taps? Way better idea than a wooden dildo.
