that doesn't have the right hue, but western red cedar does that type of growth - many small trees grow together to make one huge treeDoing it all wrong since 1966 -
I had a shit knob one time on that Volkswagen Bug. When I tried to snatch another gear, it would come off in my hand when I had it redlined.Originally posted by TC View PostHmmmm...... Not sure where to go with this one........

I looked up mahogany.. it does not seem to fit the hardness, and grains are decipherable easily...else looks like it, crazy tree.
I could agree with cedar.
I made a shift knob from southern pine laying around... thought of hunting down some real wood. mahogany is a good one. This one is ugly but works.. and my hands are not miniature.. the tiny knobs are ridiculous. copper ring is for a harley davidson exhaust. holds the cheap grain from breaking.

Isn't Mulberry wood way to soft for that? Our Mulberry is worthless in the wood department, but awesome for shade...That awkward moment when you realize it IS your circus and those ARE your monkeys!Comment

cypress.
I have no clue.
I forgot why I needed to make my own knob.. the extension is from a broken breaker bar, nut and washer, welded onto my own angle at one end of bar..
15mm.. did not even think of the knob at the time of making it.
stupid knobs stop at 1/2 inch.. or even 5/16ths. 14mm...
I did find a nice one, does up to 16mm... but at 70 bucks... no way.
I may even hack up an interesting chunk from a hardwood pallet.
for now the yellow pine is old and dry, no sappies.. ready to paint up clear..
the clock in the op is too soft. smells cedarish.Previously boxer3main

cypress my father in law used to bring those slabs back from Florida and had me make clocks for him back in the 70's.
Used to coat it with that super thick two part clear shinny stuff.Solutions are often obvious once you get the questions right.Comment

found its source of build.. almost.
the same crooked number 3.
it is cypress.
very dry and light, it seems to span 2 feet..hangs on a little nail.
I'll keep it as a clock. someone hand made it.
ugly and beautiful like my welding.
