If you want international customers to be more interested, remove the global shipping... It adds $70 cdn to the order for no reason (duty?). Direct shipping does not incur these charges. That and eBay charges a fortune for the shipping regardless. ($63 cdn)

Other than that... Drool! :)

I find that on most series 1 wheels you don't really need a stain if you get them really clean.  Just a GOOD cleaning, a proper regimen of careful sanding, and a proper application of your choice of semi-gloss, or gloss, spar urethane.  The series 2 wheels seem a bit different. The one I just did, required bleaching, and a red stain, but I learn as I go.  I will be listing this series 2, I just finished tonight.

Nice how do you get that really deep glossy finish on it? I refurbished mine but it didn't have that candy look to it.

I'm not a woodworker just a handyman... thought ican buy a steeringwheel but no bought a hand millingmachine.. now i have not only a unique steer but also a machine i can use more often!

Wow nice woodwork.  I made a 15' curved handrail for my mezzanine almost using the exact same method.  Offset segments routered into a smooth curve.

 

My wheel has been sold.

This is my personal series 1 wheel.  This one came out like glass.  Lots and lots of sanding from 400 to 800 to 1000 grit between all coats. NOT FOR SALE
