You just need the hub for that crank and you can use whatever prop you want. For the wood prop, you'd use the front plate so that the prop hub is sandwiched between the hub flange and front plate. Bolts are inserted forward through the hub flange before the hub is installed; there's too little room once it's on the crank.
The hub has a special nut with it, and a stout snap ring that serves to pull the hub off the crank when you back the nut out.
A picture of the hub, without the nut or snap ring:
It's listed for sale on this website:
