Here are some walnut knobs that I made to fit Daiwa posts. I am going to try some fiddle-back and curly maple knobs in the future, as well as different designs. These particular knobs are my prototypes and are surprisingly comfortable. They are the same diameter as a standard Daiwa smooth black knob, so they are not bulky at all.
Let me know what you think!

Those knobs are beautiful, but, I couldn't take my eye of the AOI in the background.... 
Re: Snow Day Project
Very nice work! DId you use a knob insert or drill out the wood to accept the bearings?
