Gary B Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Looking for someone to repair or remake an all wood steering wheel for my 1923 studebaker Special Six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Any competent cabinetmaker should be able to do that. You tube has videos of what some amature people have made. Most of them look good except for the joints. Anyone with the tools to make "proper" finger joints should have no problem doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I may have one. Pictures and dimensions would help. Particularly where it mounts to the shaft and how the wood attaches to the metal "spokes". I'll dig up what I have and post a photo. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary B Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Thanks all. I was fortunate that Bob Monetti turned me on to Glenn Snyder's Woodcraft in Philadelphia. Glenn built me this fantastic all wood steering wheel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
