Soooooo....prior to Turkey Day I stopped at a local shop that sells over 200 different types of wood from all over the planet. I picked up 7 different types of short boards, went home, and started fabricobling some shift knobs because I'm bored as ****. The plastic shifter in the '86 911 Coupé was staring to get boring.
All those sexy pics out there of fancy shifters I figured I'd mock one up. I noticed on pelican they sell some sort or replica made out of balsa for around $100. I made a bunch out of a mix of black walnut, purple heart, cabrueva, ipe, brazilian walnut, lace wood, and bird's eye maple. Below are the results of the first few.
Question is, is there a market out there that would buy these things?
