Thanks Radi8or for the gear Knob. As you know I have spent some time sanding it down to what I thought was a veneer but I know now it is solid wood which is obvious now being the shape it is.

Afer sanding down the cracks it went to a lighter colour which is the bare wood so it must have a stain on before the varnish finish. I took it all the way back but did not have a suitable stain so its just been finely sanded and then had 5 coats of varnish to get the gloss finish.

Anyhow it is actually a slightly different lighter shade to my interior though it was much darker than my wood before it was sanded too.

So here is a picture of it in the car scratch free.

Cheers

Simon.
