Wooden swift. The swift is primarily made of maple and has six ribs with pin construction to open and close like an umbrella. At the end of each rib there is a cut-away section to hold the yarn while it is being wound. On top there is a carved inverted acorn finial. There is a turned post at the base with a cutout that screws onto a flat surface.
