Steering wheel form an old ship perhaps??
 

So I just finished staining my custom stand and after all the trim is on I'm left with a square in the front roughly 4'x4 it's just stained birch ply for the background was thinking if i had a old steering wheel like off the olden days ships would be kinda cool where would you get one??

Anyone have any ideas for a nice centerpiece??
Will post pics later:) thanks

The furniture store that recently closed out in Londonderry Mall had one I'm kicking myself I didn't get but ebay, kijiji?

Try and call "Rick", "Big Hoss"."The Old Man" or "ChumLee" from Pawn Stars in Vegas.......
I'm sure they could help you out!:)

this is the stand i just built its made from birch plywood and birch crown then stained a walnut. took an afternoon to build and about 500 in materials:)

heres some more after stain:)

Sometimes you see reproduction ones in some of the home decor type stores, probably not 4' by 4' though. You could create a ships wheel design out of some plywood or something with a jigsaw. Not the same I know, but...

Reminds me of a (bad) joke: A pirate goes into a bar with a ship's wheel stuck to the front of his pants. The barman says, "I'm sorry to bring this up, but you appear to have a ships wheel stuck to your pants." "Arrrg, I know", replies the pirate, "it's drivin' me nuts!"

Sorry...
