Re: shift knobs

I am going to use this Indian Shift knob I bought last year. Love the look.

Re: shift knobs

I made a couple from old trees in my yard. I don't have a lathe so I used my drill press and a belt sander. I tried to use wood with some interesting defects, I didn't put any kind of finish on it, it feels comfortable in your hand.

That looks awesome! Are you going to seal it or leave it as is?

Re: shift knobs

Years of blood, sweat and tears might be just the right finish.

Use gun stock wax.
