I have enjoyed owning a 1991 coupe. It has been 40 years since i last owned a Corvette. I also like to do a little woodworking on occasion. I just finished up a black walnut and white oak gearshift ****. Here is a picture:
I also did a 2 part YouTube video of the project that you may or may not enjoy viewing. It can be seen here:
Nice feedback! Glad you enjoyed watching it. Funny how boring woodworking had become until i found something that tied it all together. The vette did it!
Not gonna lie, when i first read "a custom black walnut and white oak gearshift ****", I was expecting something hokey. But that turned out awesome, Great job!
Mixing oak and walnut is a little off beat. I wish i had taken it to the next level. I could have cut 1/4" strips and glued them into slabs and turned them 90 degrees to each other and glued up the slabs. The result would have been a checkerboard pattern ****. That would have fit well with the Corvette motiff. Wish now that i had done it.
I still like it very well. It feels just like the original **** in my hand.
Awesome job. Wish I had half the skill and/or patience to do that. The only issue I have with the entire video is that you should have played more of Money for Nothing at the end.

That made me laugh! I have learned that if you incude too much of someone else's music, YouTube will flag it as trying to steal someone else's content. Not my intention for sure. Just an awesome tune that fits a Corvette well.
