About the Process

Here’s a little about our process.

The wood we use is hand selected to have character and potential to create a beautiful knob.

Most woods are then stabilized (unless they are already very dense, such as walnut). This process requires a vacuum to be pulled on the wood for 1-3 days, and then soak in resin for 3-5 days before being oven cured.

The process of stabilizing makes the wood very dense, and less susceptible to issues that raw woods face, such as cracking and chipping.

The knob is then tapped to fit our custom billet aluminum insert.

The knob then is turned on the lathe and sanded to 2000 grit and polished to give it the shine that you see.

Once sold, a billet aluminum insert will be tapped to match your specific thread pitch.

PLEASE TYPE YOUR THREAD SPECIFICATION in the “special instructions” section at checkout.

FAQ’s

Q: How long does a custom order take?

A: If ordering a custom knob, please plan 6-8 weeks before shipping. This allows time to source all the materials to make the perfect shift knob for you.

Q: My knob has slight imperfections. Is this normal?

A: Yes. Small cracks, knots and other disfigurements are all normal. In fact, they are preferred! Keep in mind this is a handcrafted wooden item, so having small blemishes adds to the character. If this is something you prefer not to have, please contact me and we will find a solution.
