There was a Canadian that made replacement wood for Chevrolet steering wheels some time ago. I haven't seen any mention of that for many years so don't know if they are still being made. 

If you have one section of the steering wheel to use as a template, maybe a local high school wood shop could make you some new ones.

Another possibility is to talk to the Laney College wood shop teacher, which is near you  in Oakland.

Good luck!  Dean

@lou-macmillan Lou, is the finished rim round or is it 8 sided with rounded corners?

    The 23 steering wheel that I glued together was a rounded octagon.  I believe the 27 is more circular and may have 8 or 6 pieces.   All I have is four spokes and aluminum decoration around the horn button.    

    Thank you for your input,   Lou        

I can verify that Lurch's steering wheel ('27) and Justin's steering wheel ('28) are both circular.

@lou-macmillan Lou, I have these.The complete wheel is a Chevy but I don't know the year.

The ring is 12 sided. They are both close to 17 inch diameter. The picture was not well posed.

That complete wheel won't work on my truck (1940)...but it sure is pretty! (Just jumping in here because I really think it is nice looking!)

    FYI:  1937 and older Chevys used a taper-key connection between the wheel and shaft.   1938 and newer used splines.       

A 28 Sedan has 8 wooden dovetail sections.  It is 17" diameter and circular with finger lumps behind.   Many years ago, I recall holding two of the wooden sections when turning my first corner in my 27 LM that were no longer connected to the metal spokes.       

I built my own steering wheel rim way back in around 2008 when I was in the process of restoring my 1926 Chevrolet Touring. I made mine out of six pieces of hickory. The joints were finger joints cut on my table saw with 1 inch fingers. I used Titebond 3 to glue the six sections. The circles I cut with band saw and jigsaw. I cut the finger holds on the back of the rim with a template and router. At the time I was editor of our local club newsletter and I wrote an article with pictures on making this steering wheel. I tried to find the article in our club's archives but for some reason they were not there. I would attach the pdf I have on my computer but for some reason I'm not allowed to attach files. While looking through the archives I did find some articles that I wrote on other parts of that restoration that  may be of interest.  "Making Wooden Wheels" <a href=" removed link ">March2008.pdf, "Upholstery" <a href=" removed link ">RBMay2010web.pdf ,  "Steambending Top Bows" <a href=" removed link ">RBNovember2010web.pdf , and "My '26 Chevy is Finished" <a href=" removed link ">RBDecember2010web.pdf.

I guess the links were deleted so I'll try again with the addresses in plain text which you can copy and paste.

After reading the various posts I would have liked to check out Arends links to his other articles. I need to steam bend one more longer bow for my 29 Roadster.

I fixed Arend's links. 😉
