Hi Clay, I think the prongs on the handle are to release the finished Teneriffe wheel, which would have been worked over the extending tabs. Since Teneriffe, like most lace, is not worked in elastic threads, there has to be a release mechanism.

I agree with Avital - it appears to be some sort of teneriffe form. But I'm mystified about what that metal "thing" is on the handle.
