Looks pretty crude.

Looks like an ornate ramrod guide or thimble from an old muzzleloader rifle.

Yes, they were made of wood, or at least some of them were.

Cool find!

I think Sarge is right. At first I thought it was a lightning rod spike.

Nice find. And pre Civil War, maybe as old as the Revolution.
