Friday Filler
Sorry for the small picture.
This tool is traditionally made from fruitwood. (in this case, cherry). What is it for?

Might it be used for blowing very hot bubbles?

I so badly want to give an answer but this being a family oriented site I will refrain and let you assume what my answer to Bubbles would have been.

Tom recognized this as a glassblowing tool. More specifically, a footing tool used to form the foot on a goblet.
This and other wooden shaping tools are kept soaking in a bucket of water. The steam formed between the hot glass and the wood helps to shape the glass without leaving tool marks.
