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.

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.
