Just so you know, John - we at VARAC have outlawed wooden rim steering
wheels for all cars other than pre-war, due to the possiblilty of splinters
causing injury in the event of an accident. The story is that a driver in
England was fatally injured when impaled by a splinter from his steering
wheel. Mybe the Kmart special is the way to go...
