HI Chuck
Installed the Edson version on my 40” wheel about 20 years ago. Held up well
and finally deteriorated so replaced last year with Edson. I believe theirs is
elk hide?? Very satisfying winter indoor project

How about a nice French Spiral wrap?

I bought some leather pieces from OA Leather.
Bought some cheap leather working tools on Amazon for punching holes and
did it myself.
I think the total cost was around $80 and looks as good as the Edson
version.
Probably one of the most satisfying things I have done to the boat since I
owned it :-
I have mine wrapped w line. Good feel- inexpensive- and been on 20yrs / still
looks good.

Leather is costly. I rewrapped the top half of my wheel with bike handle
bar wrap. Creates a nice soft and warm feel. Weathers well and costs $20.
Infinite colour choices. Easy to apply/remove. I picked one that looks like
cork. It seems to last about 2-3 years

Anybody replace their leather wheel cover lately?
I'm thinking of asking for a leather kit for my 52" wheel for Chistmas. The
Edson price is $380 and Defender offers a discount but thy are out of stock.
Boatleather.com wants $300. More if I add a foam liner. Are there better
sources?
