Another steering wheel...

[shaun]

A while back I made a build thread where I rebuilt a stock wheel using wood and wrapped it with leather. A few people mentioned that they would prefer
to see one done without the wrap, so here it is. Mr. Boyd kindly donated a few wheels to the cause (1 stock and 2 Caddy wheels) and I finally got
around to rebuilding a stock one. I used alder this time and matched the grain (unlike the last one ). It's been finished with three coats of tung
oil, but I could add some more to make it more glossy.

Anyways, now that it's done, we (Mr. Boyd and I) were thinking of auctioning it off (either on here or through EBAY?) and donating proceeds to
charity. There is a program in Uganda that our family supports (started by someone at our local church, www.hishope.org), but I'm open to other
options as well. Would there be any interest in this arrangement?

Whyncha auction it on Ebay? Note whet it will fit (I'd think pretty much any 70s GMC [product) and give Billy the results to keep the photosite
going.

Based on the limited feedback (thanks to those who are interested!), I'm not going to the trouble of auctioning it on Ebay. Would the two parties who
are interested be willing to submit a private bid (via PM) and I will ship to the winner? Maybe we could set a deadline of one week from today (just
in case others are interested)?
