Wooden steering wheel refurb

[Gad-Westy]

Anybody able to give me some guidance on how to restore a wooden steering wheel that has peeling laquer? Alternatively I'd be interested in hearing about temporary tidy up options.

Sand it down and re varnish.

Cheers, any experience of doing this? What varnish etc?

I've done furniture and gun stocks.

Wood is wood really.

I don't like the std varnish and would prefer oiled but that would need periodic cleaning and re-oiling as its not sealed as such.

Really its simply a case of sanding off the old varnish (or using a stripper)

Then using varnish to recoat it.

That sounds like fun , but a waste of a stripper
