I need help replacing the wood on these old Dodge Brother wood wheels. Does anyone sell them?

12 spokes, with 6 smooth and 6 fancy.

Also, need seal for brake drums, with 3.5" diameter holes in brake drum.

I take all my old bearings and seals to my local bearing shop. He measures up the 'hole' and the shaft that the seal seals against and installs a modern neoprene spring loaded seal. They usually run about $15 for a seal and about twice that and sometimes more for a modern bearing. But the 'fix' is permanent. I just did rear axle seals on a '33 and it took Timken #350936 at $14 each. This replaced the original Chicago Rawhide leather seals.
