Swapped my steering wheel

Swapped out my old leather steering wheel for a wooden one. The center ring rotated during the installation so took longer than usual to do. Absolutely love the feel of it!
If only the wood matched my trim but I think it works. Here are the pics, thoughts?

Awesome! What was the donor car? I'm wondering if these steering wheels could be had from other cars, non-W211s? It seems not too many W211s came with wooden type.

Thanks, it actually feels larger than the old wheel.

It wasnt of a donor car, got it of eBay here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131375877559?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I saw a few pics of an SL steering in a w211 by a member on here so I guess it is possible

Right? If only I could find some way to make the burl wood appear darker
