[SEL] Wooden Split Pulley refurbish

[Bob]

     What is the recommended way to restore wooden pulleys that have 
dried out considerably? I am re-assembling a line shaft driven Prentice 
Bros. lathe and a floor drill press in the blacksmith shop at the Wood 
County Museum - www.woodcountyhistory.org . I have a couple of wooden 
split pulleys that are very dry. The laminations do not appear to be 
loose but I am afraid they might come loose with use. Maybe a coat of 
linseed oil? Any suggestions?
