Thanks Elinor,

it also has a wonderful leather fragance, but mostly, it is very comfy to drive and adds grip.

I could not cover the spokes, not enough leather and that would require a specially cut cover which would then have to be cut again But I understand what you mean, and yes it would have been perfect to take the leather all the way to the line where the wood horn cover begins.

I do have an idea to do it like that, but it requires adding a patch of leather to each spoke area and then sewing them to the already-cut cover. Which means buying two covers and sacrificing one to make it happen
