In the pic above you can see additional stripper needed on the inside of the wheel.

Bravo.

This is not for the faint of heart... lol

[—atank—]

I just hope the clear-coat works out well.....

[—atank—]

Clean and smooth sanded, getting ready for stain.....

[etikoner]

Time to go on ebay lolol

[—atank—]

Too much time invested, now to pick a stain; piano black or clear?

[Demon I Am]

wow, that's gorgeous

[I<3flippyheadlights]

My vote is for piano black, all day.

[Grumpy]

clear. If you want a black wheel, why buy a wood one?

[I<3flippyheadlights]

Because a black, wooden wheel is awesome!

I would say clear and polish the spokes. I'm with grumpy, if you want a black wheel, buy a black wheel.

Clear or else its pointless to do all that extra work.

[—atank—]

I have a few different steering wheels hanging around, but this is the first one that I have actually refinished.....

I think the wood needs to be slightly darker, but not black. And don't touch the spokes. Well clean them if necessary (duh) but don't try to polish them.
