No, I think im going to make my own. Either that or get it laser cut.

This is what I want it look like ideally:


but I dont know how I would cut out the letters.

any ideas?
It almost looks like the brushed plastic you would use for an office sign. Maybe try a orinting place that does engraved signs and they could do that.

If you wanted to cut it and bring it down , or maybe stencil and dremel yourself, here is where you can get the two-layer material:

UPDATE:

I received the wood today from a cabinet maker who is a friend of my dad's. The pieces are walnut and stained to match my steering wheel (pictured below). The pics make the wood look darker than it is.

Walnut pieces, 15" X 2" X 1/2"




In reality, it's almost impossible to tell the difference in the wood tones side by side with the wheel.

Thanks, Soaring! That means a lot coming from you.

If it ends up looking good, I'll post plans with detailed blueprints.
