i would think that adding a little heat to the bucket half full of oil would help make it soak in. don't use to much heat. just a slow smimmer.

You might want to check with some of the mill supply operations. A good many feed mills have augers etc, that use wood bearings in the carriers of long screws. (wood fibers are safer in feeds that metal shavings). We use several wood bearings at work. Most are straight grain hard maple from the looks. I'm not sure where they are ordered form. I won't be back to work until Monday to find out, sorry.

YES: If you live in the midwest find a Fence Row of Osage Orange [Hedge Apple], chop off a 6" around Limb, and cut out your own Wood Bearings.Thats what we used to do for all the old Tools that had wood Bearings. Cut a Block the right size, Drill the Shaft Hole, drill the Hanger Bolt Holes and cut it in half and install. You are back in buisness.

Years ago my uncle made some for a disc out of hard wood (oak,i think) and soaked them in a bucket of oil for quite while. It seemed to work well. It might be worth a try.
