A tethered top capable of being disassembled by unscrewing of its two body section halves from one another is disclosed. No tools are required to dismantle the tethered top, since a center connector shaft is secured to a pair of end connectors which are keyed into the respective body section halves, with at least one of the end connectors being threadedly connected to the connector shaft. A wooden center shaft or axle member is disposed concentrically on the connector shaft, having an axial bore, and this axle member engages into counterbores at the inner sides of the body section halves. Similar counterbores are located at the outside surface of each half, for receiving the keyed end connectors. Thus, each body section half is reversible, and the tethered top may be assembled in any of three general configurations. The wooden axle member may be removed and replaced when worn out by dismantling the tethered top.
