This looks really good man. Your idea of having lettering under the clear coat would be awesome. It would be cool if you could burn the letters in, like you used a burning/"branding" in the shape of the gear/lines symbol. i bet some folks sporting a wood wheel would love these!

I've already thought about doing this. I haven't gotten around to delivering a prototype just yet. I can't wait to get a lathe so I could make these and others easier. I'm definitely going to be putting gear shift lettering on some later models. I also got some plans for some stuff just for the cb7/9 crowd. You guys will be the first to hear about it.

Can you stain one satin black?

I haven't checked this thread in months, so sorry for the delay. Are you wanting it black, but with the wood grain still showing? Or more of a painted look?

[islandhopper]

No worries.

At the time i posted that i was actually asking for a friend. But since then someone stole the shift-knob you made for me a few months back...

So now im looking for one VERY similar to the one i had before and one stained black for my buddy, who im sure would appreciate the grain being visible.

let me know what's up!

A spark in interest from my fellow cb7 enthusiasts has me making shift knobs again.



I still don't have a lathe yet, so I'm doing them my old fashion way. I realized I still hadn't made a knob that still had the plastic on it. So I made a true "bowling pin shift knob". (Sorry for the bad night/cell pic)

That's pretty awesome! I don't know if I'd want wood, color, or bowling pin designed... I mean, keeping it looking like a bowling pin is kinda cool!

Page 34-36 of my MRT has all the details. Cliffs are; Car gets stolen. All my shit gets jacked, i get the car back, i fix it and keep going.

Sorry for taking this further off-topic.

No problem.

The plastic covered ones are like in an earlier post, with the bowling pin material still on them. I've been rocking it over a week now and it feels pretty nice. Still haven't gotten a good picture of it.

I've been hard at work trying to fill the few orders I've had come in, but I have managed to work on a few new designs. Here's some teasers...





Stay tuned.
