Humpday Triviola
Thunderstorms here in the foothills today. Bad day for planting crops but a good day for triviola....so here goes...
These wooden things have been around for a long time....a really long time. The most familiar form has unfinished boards with teeth.
What are they?

Re: Humpday Triviola
I'm raking my brain over this one.
No but.....
....I should have seen that one coming. You just reminded me about wooden rakes. Not what I am going for however. Sorry.

Pinochio?
An early hint.....
...these things are named for the sound they make when in use.
T.
A Turkey Call????????
Re: An early hint.....
Seen something at craft shows: you use a small 'Bam-Bam' stick to thumb the wooden fingers. Have no idea what they are called.
Nope
Wrong but....
....at least your answer made me laugh when I thought of The Flintstones. ;-)
Hint #2
They are typically made of Pawlonia wood. And the sound they are named for is "clack, clack".
Re: Hint #2
I might be able to geta guess from this clue. ;-)
There we go! Answer
Mr. Dan rings in with the correct answer of Geta.
Geta are a form of traditional Japanese footwear that resembles both clogs and flip-flops. They are a kind of sandal with an elevated wooden base held onto the foot with a fabric thong to keep the foot well above the ground. They are worn with traditional Japanese clothing such as kimono or yukata, but (in Japan) also with Western clothing during the summer months. Sometimes geta are worn in rain or snow to keep the feet dry.
Re: There we go! Answer
I had to search for the answer though.
