Shift knob

Tonight I turned a shifter knob for my truck. I turned it from a piece of persimmon branch that I picked up from the farm I grew up on. I chose persimmon because of is nice grain pattern and the light color. I am hoping that with a light oil finish the wood will develop a nice patina. It was a fairly simple project, so there might be more shifter knobs to come. I hope to have pictures soon.

Clean upTo

Tonight I swept up all the shavings from the past few turning days and transfered them to the goat shed. With the freeze coming tonight, it should help those new baby goats.
