I think they do not ship to Australia.

I have purchase from Woodcraft, but awhile back now.

After reading Paul’s great article on wooden bearings I’d be chasing up a small piece of Lignun Vita and turn up a couple of bearings from that. I’ve a shaft wedge strip lost here somewhere or an old lawn bowl will do.
Failing that rock maple impregnated with a suitable oil. Go grab a bit of bowling alley. Got some of that I can find in the stash.
Use a stainless shaft with one removable handle.
Actually That being a US article missed the wood used for windmill bearings out here in Oz by Comet windmills just down Burwood Rd from me here in Concord.
I still have some interlocked grain red gum offcuts that Comet had me machine up for them on the Wadkin PK about 30 years ago after their chainsaw bounced a few times with interesting results for their workers.
They would rough turn them and leave em soak for a year in old engine oil. Finished to size and in use they lasted for decades with no maintainance.
Not suggesting engine oil but you get the idea.
