Babit Bearings
#16
....and some of the earliest steam powered boats used lignum vitae bearings. A very hard, dense wood that has a SG greater than 1. In other words it is one of the few types of wood that cannot float. Shouldn't be too expensive from a furniture materials supplier or exotic wood supplier if the size of your bearing is not too big.
