Wood Shift Knobs in the Making

i'd buy one if he starts making a few.

 

I'm in for one if you can shape one a little bit more circular versus tube-like...

Quite some craftsmanship here, very nice!

 

Here is an updated picture. These are the same knobs as above but completely finish and ready for shipping. I will post some pics of them installed once I receive them in the mail. We might play with a more tapered shape as well. Each of the ones picture have a slightly different shape as we wanted to see what felt\looked best. Any thoughts on price if we were to make a few?

 

Nice work OP!

 

What are you filling the checks/cracks with? Price would depend how long it takes to produce one, start to finish. If it was me, I might start around $25?

 

This is pretty cool.

 

i would be interested if pricing was reasonable. i of course have no idea how much time/cost/effort you are putting into these.. looking forward to finding out your price!

 

Very nice. From the responses, I'd say he could sell quite a few on here

 

I'll take the upper left (w/ black cracks).

PM on the way.

 

Thanks everyone for the comments. We will work out the details (options and cost) and I will post something more informative in the near future.

 

Checks and cracks are filled with a walnut or other wood dust. Some defaults are left exposed as they are character. The one in the back with black streaks is actually the wood coloring. Its a starburst piece of persimmon. Each of the ones shown also have any ebony insert on top.

 

My favorite is the one on the scale

 

Sub'd

I would be interested in one with some of that burl knotting in it. These would be a classy touch....props for a great idea.

 

Very nice, your great uncle does nice work.

 

sign me up. look great op

 

Might've missed this, but anything for manuals?

 

I'd take one that had a bit more flair out at the top like the stock auto shifter.

 

If only they were for a manual.. : /

 

are the automatic and manual not the same screw on type shift knob? If I had a manual I would want a weighted knob though.
