Steering Wheel Cracks

[Armycopter]

Anyone know of a DIY way to fill these cracks in my steering wheel and make it look good? The steering wheel is nearly perfect except these two cracks and I could just leave it this way but I'm worried the small piece could fall off at some point. Thank you.

Epoxy, paint and patience.  Not in that order.

I'm curious as to what the pros do for the stainless rings inside and out, myself.

Thanks. Am I correct in assuming these aren't made of real wood? I was originally thinking of wood filler.

Question, in the above picture, would a steering wheel cover help to prevent cracking in the winter months, in an unheated barn. I could take it off and put it in the house but it has never been off the R.R. since day one and is not cracked. Thanks in advance for the helpful info.

I guess it could be some tutorial on YouTube?

Mine has some hairline cracks only.

This is what i did....First I filled most of the hole with Unibond epoxy putty. I packed it tight around the metal inner frame. I left approx 1-2mm from being fully filled. Once dry I filled the rest with a medium brown wood filler. This took a few goes, filling and sanding to get it right, trying not to scratch the chrome trim. This wood filler I used has a little flex in. My wife, who is a make up artist, mixed the wood filler and Mixol Universal Tints, to create a near perfect colour match. She used yellow, green, dark brown and white.....not the colours I would have thought of using but that's why I don't do her job  Once it was all hard and dry, I gave the steering wheel 3 coats of lacquer. I sprayed over the chrome trim to give some extra protection.
I am pretty pleased with the results. It is 99% perfect and so much better than before.
