PVC to wood is OK if well-lubricated (grease). Some greases will attack PVC, but most will not. Unlubricated it will generate too much heat and melt the PVC.

You may want to use a slippery plastic instead, like PolyEthylene. Think of the clearish-white cutting boards you see, they are PE or PolyPropylene (PP) and, maybe 1" thick (2 layers?) with some grease in there should be fine.

There are many, many other materials you can use, but if one is much harder than the other the soft material will wear out.
