I'm looking for a tool...

I remember when a bag of Poly Fil would have a free wood turner in the bag. It was 12" long and had a rounded and flat pointed end. I haven't found any other like it. It's the one I reach for all the time.

I use the Purple Thang, it's good for more than one use, but you could also look for bone folders in the scrapbook/card making section. Most are made of bone, but there are ones that are wood/bamboo, too.

Elenore Burns has those on her site I am pretty sure. I watched her use one. It is called a point turner here is the link.

The closest tool of that description could be a "bone folder" used in paper folding projects..I have a "plastic" type one that I use only I used a Dremel tool to cut an "eye" in the wide end and use it to pull elastic thru casings in slacks etc. This way I can use it several ways in different projects.
