This may sound silly but I have been doing this for many years.
As a bit of background info, when I was a kid I’d walk through my grandfathers bone yard and found all sorts of equipment that used wood for items like the bushing you are looking for. For the most part the wood/s used were Maple and Birch, some times Oak, Walnut and various other hardwoods or even Eastern Pine and Douglas Fir.
I now make many of my own replacement parts especially bushings that hold slow moving shafts like a steering wheel or control type shafts, joy stick pushings/control blocks out of wood. If one has the old piece it is easy to use it for a pattern or just measure for ID and OD and some times just eye ball what is needed cut the piece and see may need to make a second one to get it right.
I then soak it in lub oil (really doesn’t matter what) and add a little gasoline to help it soak in.
Grease up the shaft/s, pin/s or whatever friction surface is being inserted during assembly and there you have a 1920’s fix.
Or to quote my wife “just go and buy the damn part and enjoy a cold beer instead of wasting a bunch of time in the shop”.
