Does anyone know what this is?

I thought shuttle sticks had a 'cut-out' to catch the thread/yarn... just going by memory of doing weaving at Art College.

I just looked on Amazon, all had cut-outs. Nothing looked remotely close to epi's "spurtle".

Spurtle is an awesome word in any case. So I vote for spurtle no matter what it is.

I have a spurtle - I thought they had the curved blade, but apparently the 'definition' is variable.
great tool for folding / mixing loose stuff in a large bowl - like salads, pastas....

I tried looking at wood weaving tools, no luck.

Someone who knows such thinks said yesterday that the wood is sycamore, and that is typical for kitchen tools. Should narrow it down a bit!

Yeah... not!

have a gander at the measuring tape in the OP pix.
#1 - pie servers have an offset handle
#2 - if so, this one is designed to deal with a 20" diameter cake....

Blind leading the blind here! But you have contrived to weave another strand into this thread.

Doh!

You seem to be the only person who noticed!

Shermie this thread is for objects where the owner doesn't know what they are. The image you posted is a grab from the internet and is therefore easily identifiable:

The utensil at the top looks almost like it. Found out that it's still being made! Our mom had one. It was called a Thingamajig.

 

[JAS_OH1]

I thought it was a whatchamacallit.

 

[GadgetGuy]

Maybe it's a thingamabob. Hah!!
