It works great. The length is the key. When I get the chance I’ll shoot a pic for you
Huh.
The Marine in me had a complete boner, and then lost it is just as fast... Sad face, sad face like whoa.
The Bondhus rounded end piece is like a universal joint... I'd love to see the pic as well.

Thank you for your service!
Yeah, that would bug me too Ray. The buckeye in your top is much more brown based while the buckeye in your knobs do have much more green to them. Both very nice looking but quite different.
Not sure what happened but I used to love the custom knobs but I really seem to prefer the black metal dome knobs these days.
When you have a figured top like Buckeye you just about have to have scraps out of the build to get them right. It's to hard to match without it.
I think a finish with a little tinting in it would solve most of the issues. My Buckeye SKB is like that, but it doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it

Well, it was a crap shoot on the Burl knobs to match the bass.
I needed a stock stacked set for my Roscoe Koa with the Nordstrand Vol/Vol to get rid of that tension with the chrome set, so that was a win. 
At this point those black stock knobs would look better on the Burl than the new ones.

Oh trust me Ray. That buckeye burl Roscoe would look killer with skull head knobs. The top looks so nice that I’d have never seen the knobs if you hadn’t mentioned them.

Lol
Yes he would! I forgot about that skull head bass (or guitar) he made.
Lol
I forgot about that one!
That really had to take some time to shape!

Having to let things dry, but I'll post the results when I'm done.

Proud of you Roscoeheads that served for our country!
My dad gave 40+ years and retired.
I served one year in the Cub scouts (and disciplinary issues led to the end of my career).
I guess I was just too much of a leader.
And that’s a partially true story!
