Guess what this is a photo of!

[taxlady]

Not for starting fires, not for using an uloo, not a mortar.

 

[Kayelle]

Uloo, that's the knife word I was looking for.

Is this thing food related TL??

 

[taxlady]

Yes, it is food related.

 

[PrincessFiona60]

A mold for filling pasties or turnovers. I was going to guess an Ulu knife, till I saw you say it wasn't.

 

[taxlady]

Nope, not a mould or even a mold.

 

[PrincessFiona60]

Nope, not a mould or even a mold.

Just because you guys up north have orphaned "u"s...

My spell checker complained about "mold". Yup, we adopt all those "u"s you guys get rid of.

Want a hint?

 

[Barbara L]

Is it used to measure something?

Barbara
P.S. Thank you for not letting this thread die! My husband started it about a zillion years ago!

 

[taxlady]

No, not used for measuring.

It would be a shame if this thread died. It's fun.

I'd like to guess, but I don't want to have to find something to post. How about I ask you to post something for me if I get it right? By Proxy, like. I like this thread too.

Sure, or we could ask if anyone wants to try and if not, I'll put something.

A zillion, Barbara?! I have been away. I thought is was only a billion.

How big is this thing?

It looks like it's made out of wood, is it?

Is it ever made out of other materials?

 

[pacanis]

It was said it's the size of a soap holder, unless you wanted more specific.

 

[Rocklobster]

spoon rest?

I've never actually seen one. But, since I know what it is for, I will guess that it's about 4"-6" long.

Yes, it is made of wood. From internet research, it seems that they are always made of wood. I can see no good reason it couldn't be made of some other materials, but I think wood would be the nicest.

 

[taxlady]

Not a spoon holder.

 

[Andy M.]

OK, ready for that hint now...
