Wheels with Wooden Spokes
Proceed in the same general fashion as for metal-spoked wheels. If
preferred the spokes can be padded to prevent crushing the wood or
damaging the varnish under J-bolts. Clear vinyl tubing cut to length
and slipped over J-bolt hooks works well.
If you prefer not to use J-bolts, you may screw the pulley directly to the
wheel using self-tapping or wood screws (Use pan-head screws with
washers, not flat-head screws):
1.
Temporarily fasten pulley to wheel with tape or a lashing of light
line.
2.
Center pulley as described in step 5.
3.
Mark and drill pilot holes in wooden spokes for fasteners.

4.
If desired, use bedding compound in the holes to fill any gap with
to center the
the fasteners used.
