I've got some before & after pics of a couple of Steering wheels I've done in the past and noticed there are 2 types.

The early wheels have a much finer "gap" between the wood & leather (on vehicles approx before 2002) than on later versions.
Also the wood looks more "real" on the earlier types too!
I'll try & dig out a comparison pic between the 2
I've noticed this.

I think I was lucky with mine as there is no real gap and the wood is very good looking.

For the people with the gap. I'd be tempted to fill it with a resin of some sort and colour the filler using the leather dye.
