NOT AN EASY TASK, KNIFING AN ALUMINUM ALLOY PISTON. THEY DON'T WHITTLE LIKE A PIECE OF WOOD BUT IT CAN BE DONE....HERE'S PROOF
STYLED AFTER THE BAKELITE KNOBS OF THE 1930'S, HERE'S A COUPLE "WINGED WHEEL" EMBLEM KNOBS. THE EMBLEMS ARE INSET INTO THE TOP WITH JUST ENOUGH APPEARING ABOVE THE SURFACE. THESE TWO ARE CARVED FROM OLIVE AND MAPLE WOOD WITH SOME POLISHED ALUMINUM TOSSED IN. CHECK 'EM OUT.
OKAY, SO YOU HAVE A CHAINSAW THAT'S NOT WORKING, SO WHAT DO YOU DO? RIP IT APART AND START CARVING ON THE PISTON...THAT'S WHAT:) KEEP CHECKING BACK TO SEE HOW IT PROGRESSES. THANKS
From Dmitry’s "Leading Edge" wood carving talent and a slightly demented imagination of his friend Tommy, comes the inception of “GearHedz”, the finest in handcrafted “Functional Fine Art” shift knobs. Combining the finest in exotic woods & machinable metals, these knobs have no equal. Whether a simple solid wood skull or a “Over-The-Top” example as “Pistoff”, The Mad Russian Piston Knob, precision and attention to detail is our goal. Check us out. We are a little behind but……...........okay, we are a lot behind, but our knobs are worth the wait -guaranteed:)
TAMARIND SPALTED, WALNUT, AMBOYNA BURLWOOD, AFRICAN BLACKWOOD AND A LITTLE ALUMINUM WERE SHAPED INTO THIS GUY. HE'S PRETTY COOL.
