Steering wheel

Just took delivery on my car on Friday and am easing into the restoration with some small projects. My first goal is to restore the steering wheel. I’ve discover a split in the wood along the top third of the wheel that has been exposed to the sun. It’s a sizable crack maybe 2mm. I was thinking abou...
