Hey, I sparked some answers :lol:
pencil sharpener
Nope, but getting warmer...
Polo Mallet (or club, or whatever you call it)?
Nope
So the hint is in "drawing up"? Is it the tip of a pencil or marker or eraser of some sort? Am I getting warmer?
Yes, that is one of the hints and there were 2 hints in that one statement....but it is not a pencil or eraser. You are getting warmer though.
Lets look at the clues...
It's made of wood
have a 'job/purpose' to serve.
The piece you are looking at is about 3 inches long and is attached to the entire item that is 5 inches long.
think 'trades' and I don't mean woodworking
I'll be drawing up the next clue in a bit as soon as I can think of a way to pose it.that is all of them.
so...an artists carving tool or drawing tool?Okay, I'll give you that it is used by artists...mainly.
and artists easel or part of one
not an easel
Some whittling thing?
Not a whittling thing
some wooden horseshoe tool
not a horshoe tool
chalice?
and not a chalice.
Those that mentioned Pencil, pencil sharpener, carving too and easel....an artist will be using those items when looking at this item to draw or paint it....antoher hint :D

Okay then. How about an ant farm.

pine cone?
whitedog
10th of September 2008 (Wed), 19:42
Not an ant farm, not cereal of any kind, and again, certainly not cardboard. But what makes this an interesting macro is the fact that it DOES look like so many other things. Keep up the good guesses, but I'm retiring for the evening....a long day tomorrow. Will check in with any new guesses tomorrow morning.
Night all.

Not a pine cone, but you are closer than any other guess.
whitedog
10th of September 2008 (Wed), 19:46
pine cone?
Actually, in all fairness, I will have to give this to Snake. The reason is that I don't actually KNOW what this is. It's a seed pod of some kind, and although I KNOW that it is most definitely NOT a pine cone, some may argue that Snake was close enough. So, take it away Snake. And here's the full image:

Uhm I can gues this one, pretty easy. Is it an empty gear bag?
Sorry. No camera sucks. I have had to weather a pretty short but powerful crisis lately, and had to downsize from a full pro/2body rig, to a 40D so far, and maybe even sell that too. :(
But the main thing is -as a friend just put it- to keep the faith, and keep a new camera purchase in mind.

Snake had some good clues, and I've had enough little nicks on the ends of fingers to have experience. I also recognized the fingerprint pattern. That along with the clues led me to the guess.
This one may be pretty easy, but it's the only one I've got ready right now.

P.S. Sorry about the finger, Snake, but you'll be back on the guitar in no time! Those things heal pretty quickly. And you must've been in the macro frame of mind to take that picture after you cut yourself and before bandaging it up! I don't know that I'd have done that.

Actually, I don't really ever bandage smallish cuts like that. It semi-meshed together while I was eating and an hour later I went to play guitar. After around 5 minutes I looked down and there was blood all over my strings at which point I took the pic :D
