Is it a concrete noun?

  If yes, is it naturally occurring, or man-made?

  If no, does it have overall positive or negative associations?

Although it is a concrete man-made noun, it does have positive assotiations for me!

It is made primarily out of wood? metal? plastic?

Is it smal enough to hold in your hand?

«It is made primarily out of wood? metal? plastic?»

Wood (often with some metal) was widely used in the past, Metal as the main material is the most common today, but plastc items can also be found.

BTW, this word has a lot of meanings, both as a noun and verb, so let's stick to the basic noun meaning from which all other ones originate.

EDIT: As for the size, _ _ _ _ _ s come is a great variety of sizes, and only rare samples can be held in the hand, but a lot of them can be held with one or two hands and even carried!

Looks like we should take a rest from GMW... BTW, my word was really simple — "wheel".

I am very impatient. I must work on myself hard and long before I can enter the GMW league...

I'll do the next word.

It's a compound noun with eight letters.
