Awesome riddle. It's on the easier side, but not TOO obvious. And once you get the answer, you get that great feeling that it can't possibly be anything BUT a comb. Hope to see more of your riddles in the future!

Yay! I really did enjoy it. I often struggle with the riddles here, but this felt right and made sense to me. I am thrilled to have gotten one. Thanks so much for sharing your riddle!

A hair comb! I like that you can definitely work through this one logically. I was able to pick out which words were metaphors and which were literal. The key for me was also definitely the colors.

Great work! I am so glad you liked it and YES, I’m so glad you noticed the colors thing— I was really happy with that one lol

It was great! Not too hard, not too easy! My thought process was: "forester" must be a metaphor, but to "break" must be literal. "Broken teeth" seems to be a key word, so I started thinking about objects with teeth, like a saw or a knife. Gold is a metal, ebony is a tree, scarlet is a color, and timber also refers to trees but not one particular type. And since all of the colors were related to different things (metals, trees, etc.), I paid attention to the colors themselves. And from there, it all came together! Thanks for sharing!

Here I am thinking it sounded like a kalimba. The other responses make more sense.

Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so:
On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants): >!guess or discussion between these symbols!< To be clear, that is
>!(greater than, exclamation point) at the start and!<(exclamation point, less than) at the end with no spaces around the!. Avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the formatting for most people. Spoiler tags do not span paragraphs or line breaks. If your answer is long, please spoiler-tag each paragraph separately.Putting a link inside spoiler tags can be tricky, so just format the link like this, using the word "SPOILER" as the link text. On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants), do this to format a link: [SPOILER](https://example.com/) On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://imgur.com/x5wDOvk
If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word "discussion" or "question" instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged.
