well more gluing than turning
years ago I made shift knobs for my 1967 international tractor. I decided to do a steering wheel cap over the week end.(plastic one long gone) I still need to sand it and give it 2 more coats of polly.
Made of maple ,walnut and bloodwood

What ya think

Love it, great job. Every truck I drove was an International, would have loved to have one as my gear shift knob, of course I would take it with me when I traded trucks.

Someday I will get as good as you on making stuff like that.

I think you did a spot on job.

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

Nicely done! Having spent the majority of my working life at IH/Navistar I especially like those.

I would run in the ditch from stairing at the center cap on the steering wheel all the time.

Very nice.
