Woodgrain steering wheel restoration

Ok, I am ready to send my 69 B body woodgrain steering wheel out for restoration, but I have a few things I would like to find out before it leaves.
- Who can properly restore the center spokes on these wheels? The matte chrome finish is what I want, not sliver paint.
-Who recreates the woodgrain most accurately?
- What does a restoration typically cost for a woodgrain wheel starting out in good driver quality condition? i.e, one hairline crack on the backside, some light pitting on the spokes and no loose metal band on the grip.

Who do you guys suggest for this and is there a board member who can fit the bill for this kind of work?

Doug Lepak, in Edmonton Alberta Canada. His work is awesome, he did the wheel on my 70 Sport Satellite. Think his website is : www.thesteeringwheelguy.com ?

Google him . . . .

Cheers

Have had doug do few for the shop I agree you will not disappointed

Do you need to empty your 401k to pay him?? Thanks larry J

its hard to beat Mike Tarkington's expertise. He's done 4 wheels for
me. One 70 rimblow Ebody wheel, 2 69 b body rallye wheels & one
68 Formula S rallye wheel. All were accurate & awesome, imo.
He charged $650 for a complete restored wheel & $300 I think it was
to restore my formula s & 69 Charger wheels. Here's the link
to his site. http://steeringwheelsbymike.com
