It’s a wooden tool called an Hawaiian sling. They are used to spear fish. When they spear the fish, the four prongs spread out and hold the fish so it can’t wiggle off. Besides decorative wood, they also come in utilitarian steel and brass. Metal slings usually have three prongs.

Vibrating fork for raising worms.
Stick the fork end in the ground. Rub the carved end against the grain with another stick. The vibrations to the ground cause the earthworms to come up.

It’s a hand treadle for spinning yarn from wool.
