Solid Cherry Shift Knob - TundraTalk.net

logcabin · 02-15-2008, 10:28 AM

Well........Here it is. I just finished making a solid wood shift knob for my '07. It's made from some figured cherry wood that I kiln dried myself. I purposely made it "bulky" to fit the design of the truck. It feels great in the hand, and I think it looks great. What do you think, guys?

Looks Great!! Are these for sale? If so, how much and can you stain a different color?

Curious - what are the 2 switches next to your tow/haul switch for?

Thanks for the complement! While I didn't anticipate making any more, I would consider making them if the demand is there. To answer your question.......Yes. they can be made of different woods and colors.
The two switches next to the tow/haul switch are for my aux. lighting. One is for the driving lights, and one is for the fog lights.
Thanks again!

Shift knob looks great better than stock, Love nat. cherry -- This was my last nat. cherry project. I dried a great deal of it myself.

Beautiful job, Candyman! I'm a big fan of cherry wood myself. As it ages and darkens, you are always amazed at the figure that gets revealed. If I may ask, what type of finish did you use on your cabinets?

They look great wish I had that skill. Would someone consider making one for a small fee??? Mahogany stain dark rich finish

candyman · 02-16-2008, 08:34 PM

The finish that we use is Catalyzed Conversion Varnish -- in Satin. This is just a part of a basement remodel we did a month or 2 ago. I am working on another job right now that is the same wood and the same color.

Candyman, Does the heat from the fireplace effect the TV enclosure.

I haven't talked to this guy since we did the job. (No news is good news). But we discussed that before we did the project. He has a glass enclosure in front of the fireplace so I am pretty sure that with it closed there won't be any problem. And there shouldn't be a problem unless he closes the damper enough to back a major amount of heat in to the room. With that said "I don't know".

If you mean the shift knob........I made another one in black walnut that looks really sweet. I mounted it in my truck, and just like the cherry wood better. I will sell you the walnut knob if you want it. Let me know and I'll post a picture if you're interested. Thanks.
