This week's collaboration with the always fun What is it? Blog brings us this strange tool. Can you guess what it is for? Hint: it has a very specific use, and it's not what you're thinking about.
Place your guess in the comment section. No prize this week, so you're playing for fame and glory. Please post no URL, so others can play.
Be sure t check out the What is it? Blog for more hints. Good luck!

No prize this time? Can't you just send me something...anything? A pencil? A half-eaten hotdog?
I just know I've seen one of these...

Might be for winding iron wire around to make spiral cones of wire.
just don't know what theyre used for.
Allthough I somehow half remember it had to do with making cloth, or spinning wool or something...
hrm.
can't wait for the answer!
I say one-size-fits-all-cork
