New wood competition steering wheel...need help getting a matching shift knob

[Silver-240Z]

Hey guys, just got this beautiful rosewood competition steering wheel and now need a matching shift knob. Been looking all over the net but can't seem to find one I like. Ideas?

[SpeedRoo]

Give these guys a try, if they don't have it in stock they can make it. http://www.nostalgic-grains.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=133

Just talked to Willy at Nostalgic-Grains who asked for a pic of the steering wheel in sun light. Thanks!

Where did you source the wheel?

I’m going to make it sound like an echo chamber.

Where did you get that awesome looking wheel at?

That is a beautiful wheel!

Did you have to bend the turn signal lever (like the ad says)?  And if so easy or hard to do?

Thanks

Nice! Looks a bit like mine that i made myself.. (i prefer my light color.)  I made a matching shiftknob on a lath from the same mahogany wood as the wheel.

Does the wheel have the ridges for your fingers, can't see them in your pic's?

You can clearly see the "fingers"in the wheel.. much apriciated as there is no powersteering!

It's made of 12 pieces of mahogany wood.. some waterresistant wood glue and some 2 comp. glue to glue it to the steel wheel inside.

Yes. The turn signal sits very close to the back of the steering wheel since it’s more than one inch shallower than the stock wheel. I was a bit nervous bending the signal but managed to gently bend it back over multiple attempts and got the desired spacing.

I like the “fingers” built in for a more secure grip. Great job!

Yeah, thanks! I took them (the measurements) over.. more or less from the old wheel.. i drawed some lines on my wheel and took a black&decker-powerfile to make the "fingers"  turned out to be more easy then i thought it would be.. i got a perfect grip on the wheel.
