<VV> LM Wood Grain Steering Wheel

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

I would like to restore my cracked '65 wood grain steering wheal.  I  plan on 
cleaning up the exposed metal rod, painting it and filling the gaps with  an 
epoxy mixture that has been dyed to match the rest of the wheel.  Is  this a 
good way to go.  I've seen several different examples of repair,  some better 
than others, but have no idea what the problems may be.   Assuming I keep the 
car covered or in a garage should I expect to see a lot more  shrinkage of the 
original material?
