There are places that specialise in restoring old steering wheels, does anyone know what they use for the big cracks? It seems like bondo would be logical since it's strong, bonds well and is easy to shape before it cures fully.

The only possible downside to bondo would be lack of flexibility, if in fact that's needed. Old SWs are either made of Bakelite or some other type of ceramic, from the looks of them. I really want to learn to do this myself, it is similar to certain types of work I've done before and seems straight forward.

I'd also need to learn which available finishes are best, eurathane paint? TIA.
