    Wooden shift knobs

    I have been handmaking some wooden shift knobs for friends and wanted to see if there is any interest here. If enough people are interested I was going to start producing more and making a website.

    Let me know if you want a specific design/wood, I can pretty much do anything.

    I haven't thought a lot about prices yet but I've done some searching and the only website I can find is a bit pricey for some of the nicer hardwoods at around $150-$200 a knob. I was thinking quite a bit less than that.

    Here is one of the ones I made:




    Edit: Here is another, I will get higher quality pictures soon.

      This almost looks like the 9kracing's shift knobs... They're huge and look like dildoes. Link below.
      If you make them a bit smaller and have a decent price, I'm in.

      Example: http://www.9kracing.com/shop/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/700x700/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/9/k/9k-12-3.jpg

        i would be interested in the shortest possible make, with a little bit more convex on top.
        not 180* but something more natural feeling... maybe like 120* or so.


        only if the price is good :) what are you doing for inserts? i need to get my hands on a lathe....

          I can make them however you guys like, I just happen to make a dildo for a friend because that's what he wanted. I'll post some more pics soon of different ones. As far as inserts go I haven't really decided on something absolute, at least for BMW's. For honda/sub/miata etc I was just going to order threaded shift knob inserts.

              Hmm this doesn't sound like a bad idea, if the price is right then I'm in!

                  I'd be interested in one to match my nardi wood line steering wheel.

                    Could you make round ones or oem bmw shaped ones? With a cutout for the 5spd logo.

                    Also better pics would help. Take it in the light so we can see the color. Discount if we provide wood?

                            I may also be interested in this too. I have a wood Nardi. And like Pantless, I want one that'll sit as low as possible. Not sure what he was talking about with the angles though, I didn't pay attention to that part.
