These are another one of those things that I just couldn't find, so I decided to make them. 2 1/4" round, hardwood shift knobs. Stained and top coated with polyurethane. I'll have 4 standard colors with custom stain colors costing only a few dollars extra.

When I was looking around online I found a few knobs that were almost what I wanted but these guys wanted in excess of $100 for one knob, not including shipping!!

A PDR Hardwood Shift Ball will only set you back $40 shipped anywhere in the USA!

I have 4 in stock in the color stain shown above. The final coat of polyurethane will be gloss. Contact me for custom stains or finishes other than gloss.

Wow, pretty nice! I bet they'd look good stained in different colors to match Miata colors as well.

If this blends well with the Nardi then I am up for one!

If you can find the color in this chart, I can make it for you. These charts can also be picked up at any Home Depot.

The color of my personal one (in the pictures above) is about the same color as the OEM Nardi wood knob. My guess is the Golden Oak color is close to the aftermarket Nardi light wood.

They might not weigh as much as some of the other knobs out there but the feeling of a wood shift knob is something you just don't get with metal or plastic.

It looks pretty good, it'd probably be nice during the summer, when my steel shift knob gets unbearably hot LOL

I have 2 of these knobs finished in a gloss varnish and ready to ship!

What is the species of wood?

[MartyMcfly]

They are White Oak.

Me likey. Reminds of the knob in my first car, a 1980 Plymouth Fire Arrow. (http://cache.jalopnik.com/assets/images/12/2008/01/medium_80_FireArrow_RH.jpg)
