摘要

A description is given of a motor-vehicle steering wheel that has a framework that includes, in turn, a central hub portion; a ring radially separate from the central hub and having a grip section; and radii or arms that connect the ring to the central hub portion. The steering wheel is provided with an intermediate cork cover that surrounds at least one segment of the ring of said framework. Said intermediate cover is formed by two complementary halves joined to one another. On this intermediate cork cover there is a decorative layer for the purpose of giving the steering wheel an aesthetic appearance and affording a sensation of comfort, said decorative layer preferably being made from wood. Also described is the method for producing this type of steering wheel.
