abalone shell in my shifter knob

toyospearo · 09-02-2008, 09:21 PM

I had this done by a guy in Wyoming. www.koolknobs.com
I found this little piece of Abalone while I was diving in a spot near my home and I thought it would be KOOl to have it put in my truck. I think he did a fantastic job.

You should see my yard, it's like an Abalone graveyard. Two divers in the family, and over the course of 10 years on the coast, they start to add up. Probably have around 300-400.
