Barrie, what shape do you plan? A sphere, or a spherical top, with a
pear-shaped bottom half? I might be interested in two of them.

Subject: Gear shift knobs
A wood local turner made me a bird's eye and ebony gear shift but due
to bad glue (weak crazy glue) it came apart. Now he says he can make
another and I have decided on solid black Indian ebony. However they
only sell it in 2" X 2" X 18" pieces - enough for 6 knobs! Is there
anyone out there that would want one of these. The cost of the wood
per knob works out at $8 and I think he would turn them for $15
each. So allowing for postage the bill would be roughly $25.
