Ribe Spindle
Today I pruned the maple trees in my back yard. After 2 years of searching, I finally have a stick of the proper straightness, length and diameter to carve a spindle shaft to match the one found in Ribe. Hurray! Soon I'll be able to test the Ribe shaft model (gently tapered to each end) against the Greenland shaft model (a pronounced bulge in the center).

Using materials from your yard is probably just how they did it back then.
