Gear shift knobs

[Barrie Robinson <barrie@look.ca>]

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.  They 
would be solid with a hole into which you would have to fit a 1/2" 
wide 7/8ths long tapped nut which I have found in the local hardware 
store.  I  need a 5/16 NC 18 pitch one as I have a Rover SD1 gear 
lever but others must be available.  The hole would be just over 
1/2".  Nothing on the top as I cannot find those gear shift pattern 
things as normally appears on knobs.
