Wood shift ***** went out sometime in the mid 70s and for good reason, they ran out of wood door locks!

Can't be hard man, just find a friend with a lathe and go to work then once it's almost the size you want take out the sandpaper and get to work.

Tapping the core might be kinda tricky but I'd just secure it with molding foam.

If you do find one, I can think of endless fun hours asking the young ladies if they'd like to go for a ride and polish your ****.

[Did I say that out loud?]

The light weight of a wooden **** is gonna make your shifting feel weird IMO. You need to make it heavy some how.
