I know such talented people
There is an excellent exhibit in a little gallery in Moscow.
Jim Croft and his partner Melody have been living simply in the real boonies of Idaho for several decades now. They are sincere folks and amazing craftspeople.
Jim specializes in handmade books and is well-known in the field. He teaches in Penland and has been featured in two of their books.http://www.geocities.com/oldways_id/ Museums send him damaged Medieval books to repair and/or rebind. All their tools are handmade and mostly of materials they grow or harvest themselves. Here are some photos I took .
I thought this was cute, it is a picture of a picture of Melody in a bark dress processing flax.
Jim's handmade tools with a book in front that is a replica of one of Charlemagne's. (Could Big C even read?) http://kilgarlinites.wordpress.com/2008/03/19/old-ways-bookmaking-and-tool-workshops-by-jim-croft/
Gothic style books
A model of his stamp mill, even that is beautifully crafted.
Sorry I don't remember the name of this tool. For processing the flax they grew themselves though. And one of the several of his hand-carved drop spindles.

I think your mystery tool is a flax break.

Every centimeter of the books and the tools look beautifully made.
