Custom shift knob- shout out to Manuel!

I wanted to give a forum member some good press for a shift knob he made me. Great communicator, artisan and a lot of pride in the final product.

I know the design is not for everyone but here it is:

Who's the forum member? Does he do custom designs other than 917 style knobs?

There is a 30+ page thread at Early S that has tons of photos of knobs that Manuel has made. I've had it bookmarked for a while, plan to order one eventually.

You need to register to see the photos.

Received my shift kbob from Manual a couple weeks back but only had the chance to install it last night. He was great to work with!

These are all beautiful. I am not much of a woodworker, but I wanted to try my hand at it.
