Spindlework – wood details with circular cross sections, usually turned on a lathe. It could be ordered from mail order catalogues or bought at lumber yards and general stores. Often seen in Queen Anne and Victorian style structures. So-named because the decorative trim may resemble wooden thread spindles.
