Steve -
Vetus Inc., several versions of spoked wooden wheels. The only thing you probably have to make sure of is the wheel "hole" - tapered or straight. I've got a metal spoked Edson wheel here - and it has like a keyed straight 1" hole. I suspect you could find one on ebay.com, and bid or buy a used one outright.

: I believe that Teleflex will actually sell you the hub to build a wooden spoked wheel... I assume you are talkng about an old fashioned ships wheel..I have the plans somewhere that I found in an old edition of wooden boat...it details how to custom build the wheel...are you planning on turning your own spokes etc?..
