The problem with both of those is that they lack the self-lubricating
properties of lignum vitae. Sure, you could oil them, but then you have
to design the instrument to provide access to the bearings. Lignum vitae,
on the other hand, should never need attention. Like cocobolo (which is
used to make bandsaw blade guides), it will continue to release oil for
longer than the life expectancy of your instrument.
