The spinning wheel

Hiya.  I mentioned previously about my lack of knowledge regarding my spinning wheel.  Is it early?  A basic type?  Unusual?  I've seen others similar but they have a smaller wheel with fancy spokes and the wood is smooth.  Maybe one of you could enlighten me.  I took photos showing the rough cut wheel and other details.  The loops holding the ???? are leather, the nails holding the spokes are tiny squares, the ones holding the edges are round and pounded over.  You can still see the scribe marks for the cut openings.  It's been sitting upstairs in an unused room for a long time and needs a good cleaning with a brush.

 The guy that ripped me off I purchased it from 30 years ago claimed it was covered with straw and dirt and if he would have cleaned it first, he wouldn't have sold it.  I purchased two from him, both found in a barn, and the other was a huge walking wheel which I sold.  It has developed cracks in the very dry wood but I didn't know if oiling/waxing it would help. Really too rough to wax. 

Any ideas?  Is it just an ordinary wheel? 

There you have it.  My wheel.
