Does anyone know of a source for wooden volume knobs. I am looking for something in black Ebony, Rosewood, and Paduk.

If you know of any sources, please post links. Much appreciated!

vt4c has some nice wooden knobs

Ebony knobs are available from VT4C Audio Catalog

Other wise check eBay there are plenty of wooden knobs listed from various sellers, mainly for guitars.

My mistake. I guess I assumed when in this thread you said:

Below are photos of the finished product, simple, elegant and it serves it's intended purpose:

That you had made the base and handle too (which would require the use of a wood lathe). You did make the base and handle, didn't you?

^^^ Yes I did make the base and handle. I just couldn't resist a bit of tongue in cheek, LOL

Just joking!

Sometimes, it's just plain easier to purchase from others especially for small items and if your not making too many pieces, getting the right type of wood in small quantities can be a hassle! Especially in this case if I am looking for two small knobs in Ebony.
