happens all the time...don,t worry about it... we always get back eventually...and what do you mean...you don,t know what this thing belonged to.....we know its a hub from a wheel,that had wooden spokes,now this wheel may have been a wagon wheel, or a gun limber,or a cannon,..or a Grist mill,.wheel,.but one thing is for sure it was,nt on one of these...from the Ukraine, ;D..no offense taken,FP.,cos after all variety is the spice of life...and anyway..whats a little humour & banter between friends,..Oops,2 pics for the price of one,

The way i see it,...this might just be the last A.R.M..thingy ma bob..on the planet,...and no amount of searching is going to find, it,...we are 99% sure that it is part of a spoked wheel,...I think we can agree on that,....as for that elusive 1%..well, that,s for the original poster,,to chew on....but from where i,m sitting,its been found,...its a wooden spoked wheel hub ....of unknown origin.but if the original poster can,t accept that......then...wh at was the point of us finding..all those similar looking HUBS.... :-X

Wasn't diminishing the help you guys have given. I really appreciate it!
Going into this, in my first post I was almost certain that it was from a wooden spoked wheel, I was just more interested if anyone knew what kind of machine/vehicle this was on (as it could be a plethora of different things).

But I guess this is just one of those mysterious pieces!
