WHAT IS THIS?

I'm impressed you've been carrying it around for 20 years!

But I'm sad to say it had no purpose... It's just a project some student did in woodwork class lol.


Interesting tho...

It's wood a 20 second dip in water would harm it none but it would tell you if it is lignum vitae. To me it has the same look of this wood with a couple of hundred years ago behind it. The handle looks different wood

agreed, handle is different. those Qtip looking ends are friction/glue fitted on (is fitted a word?).. any way 20 seconds! It WOODnt even take 20 seconds, thinking 1 second... maybe later, too early now.. I'll get back to you.. after she wake up..

it has a nice feel to it. So you have seen this done in wood shop somewhere? if it was done in a class the kid shoulda got an A for design and manufacturing.

Yeah, carrying it around and playing with it occasionally, I never focused on or remember focusing on the ends. Here are a few. They leade me to think it rotated in something. And the wood is soft enough to show wear and what I believe is a failure where the wood wore away and shattered/split. The other end (the darker one) shows only slight friction wear marks. Splits and gouges in the shaft.

Maybe this is some pre-historic dildo... LOL

Giants used them.. Nephilim.. and in that time they didnt have handy latex or plastic
so they used a wood.... "Woody Allen" model.. hehehehehe

The first two shots show an inclusion, bark that got surrounded by wood. Notice how the grain curves around that spot. That happens in spots where branches or roots go different ways and as the diameters expand things get trapped. I have found golf balls walnuts and many other strange things inside of burls.
I still have no good guess as to what it is though.

Hmmm....could it be some sort of axle?

...Or maybe a Shillelagh?

[luposolitario]

It is an old rolling pin, for grapes perhaps, oil, and break white poppy seeds , or a simple tool to crack heads ... a mistery item

would you take a guess at what sport?

 

[Big-Narstie]

No I better not... Can't afford to look anymore stupid lol.

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

Hmmm, it's not something a very large lady might toy with?

....no, I doubt it with the potential for splinters.

LOL. You guys too funny. Hopefully wood doesn't swell from getting to wet. Or maybe that would be good thing.

 

[nameless]

that wood dildo website is something else...

i think its some kind of cooking instrument... like a butter churn but not?

 

[Betterhaff]

Might be some sort of antique yarn or rope spool/bobbin although no holes in the ends.

it's 5.5 inches in diameter (YeOWW!) my girl

... it is actually quite smooth but with wood there's always that possibility...
