I believe its a bone folder book binders use them for sharp edges. there is a round end and a pointed end.

This sounds like a wooden iron. Does it have a slanted end that tapers towards the other end? If so, it's a wooden iron.

I love my "Purple Thang" so much I bought another one in case I lose the first!

I have one and bought it for finger pressing as opposed to be used for turning corners. It is made from wood and it about 4"long and 1" or 1.5" wide at the base and a point at the top. I believe I got it from Clover but, can't say for sure.

Mine is wood and looks like it might be bamboo, round on one end, pointed on the other, hole in round end. Have no idea where I got it or when, but use it often.

I use a dowel that I sharped in the pencil sharpener, but not to a sharp point. Works very well.
