Wow, my steering wheel looks bad!

[Tony Martie <tony@domain.elided>]

I just installed my beautiful new super-shiny wood shift knob with the 
serpent eating the poor Alfa owner (that's what a friend liked to say 
back when I was fixing everything on my then basket case Spider) which 
was purchased from Mastro. Very nice by the way.  Anyway, I now realize 
how rough my original wood steering has gotten.  It looks really bad in 
comparison.
 I know this was covered extensively before, too extensively as I 
recall, but I was wondering which refinishing method and or products 
will help me achieve a finish something like my new shift knob.
 I recall someone spoke highly of a product for marine applications(?).
I am familiar with the methods of getting a paint job smooth, but it 
seems like wet sanding a steering wheel successfully would be difficult 
with all those bumps and edges to sand through.
 Any tips greatly appreciated.
