Some people use a bowling ball repair paste or epoxy.

I used Eastwoods PC-7 product and bought the restoration book which was very helpful.  I was pleased with the results.  Key is to take your time, follow the instructions, and don't rush!   ;)

Those reproduction steering wheels still show up occasionally.
