That steering wheels needs only a little work to get it back to tip-top condition. Clean the wood with steel wool, treat with wood preservative (e.g. linseed oil) and paint the whole steering wheel in your choice of army green.

Yes I know, a wooden wheel looks better when varnished, but during manufacture everything was painted in the top coat colour of the vehicle....
