What is a wooden iron? Glenn :?:
I made some wooden iron/stilettoes that I use when I am paper piecing The other tool is one I use a lot when making solt sculptures, toys, pincushions, etc. The stiletto is a finishing nail that I ground smoother and also sometimes cut 2 sided knitting needles in half.
