Default Customized shifter knob

Well, this took nearly a year to get all the pieces together and bring it from idea to reality, but... check this out:

Walnut burl knob from Adamesh
Custom design by myself, so I put my initials in it
Filled with an epoxy/aluminum powder mixture

Originally I wanted to get it filled flush with the surface, sand it down (which may or may not bring out some sheen in the metal powder), then re-coat it with some clearcoat, but... I'm pretty happy as-is, and I'm tired of that yellowish factory one.
