Reference for Yoma 77:9

אמר רבא קלפי של עץ היתה ושל חול היתה ואינה מחזקת אלא שתי ידים

- Rabina demurred to this: It is quite right that [its mouth] could contain no more than his two hands, i.e., to prevent his taking o intentionally [through manipulation] but why should it be profane? Let it be sanctified? - That would result in our having a ministering vessel of wood, and we do not make ministering vessels of wood.
