My wife and I were digging in the barn and she picked up this. Of course asking if she could use the hand screw pieces for a project...ummm...nOOO!!!
More quick pics. There is a plane blade you can see in the last pic and the opening is lined with metal. The circular recess is only on one side. It's quite a bulky piece, so wonder if it was meant to be held in a vise while the work was turned.
Looking for more information on it if anyone knows, my best guess was a spoke tenon cutter, but I know many of those also did the tenons with the spoke mounted in the hub.
I'll try to clean it up and get some better details later, as well as look for any markings.
Edit: Looks like it's a Witchet or Rounder Plane.
