What I had in mind:

<http://www.knology.net/~felder/Vanagons/knob.html>

Two layers of cherry with about 1/8 inch of ash in between, turned to the
angle of a vanagon windshield to the front end. Question is how to adorn
the top? See drawing.

Epoxy a knurled, tapped rod in the bottom and supply with a jam nut for
correct orientation if the final design makes that neccessary.
