It was just an example I found on a coupe, I too personally wouldn't opt for wood but maybe a sports version, I always think the shape and color of the original are quite spot on. https://photos.app.goo.gl/SVNf9jbtAZgjg6fB7

Depending on how near/far you want to reach. - grip, varies somewhat between laquered wood, leather, to suede. - feel - burning hot in summer, freezing cold in winter? Was this the one?
