Wood Steering Wheel

For my 2004 CLK320, I plan to upgrade the steering wheel to wood (Burl /charcoal).

I mentioned this to some of my friends. Without seeing the wheel, they said I have become too old. Wood steering wheel is really for older folks.

I just found these comments funny.

Yes, x-tian-230k, it looks great. Is that burl-walnut wood? Is there only one color of burl-walnut?

I have been talking to MBenzNL and too bad he doesn't work with MB part number. The picture he sent me has a different color in the wood probbaly due to the flash light.
