Chestnut, you inspired me:

A popular nut for roasting
An auburn hair color
A wood used for furniture
An old, corny joke

I'm so pleased to be an inspiration for someone!

Well done. From Chestnut 🌰

Just thinking which of those applies. I'd like to be a popular nut, and on Gransnet I sometimes get a roasting. Maybe I'm more of an old corny joke though.
