Hello, thank you for the warm welcome! I source various types of burl wood for all my shift knobs. I’ve worked with many types of wood such as Maple Burl, Japanese Elm Burl, Australian Eucalyptus Burl, Brown Mallee Burl & Gray Box Elder Burl. All the resin is high quality and sometimes includes a material such as shredded money, pinecones, chola cactus, or gold leaf. Unfortunately, I don’t yet have the equipment to cast my own blanks, but all the turning, polishing and fitting is done by me.
Regarding my Civic ownership I had one other Civic before. It was an 06’ LX 5-Speed. My father gave it to me when it turned 16. Sadly, I totaled it about a month ago. I just really want a manual Honda. I know the 21’ sport hatch comes in a 6-Speed, but I’m not a big fan of the “hatchback”. I’m also not in love with the Fit. I can’t find any 20’ Si’s near me so I figure just wait till spring.
