WHAT IS IT?

“This wooden item (below) was donated to the Gordon Orr Memorial Museum in Binscarth, Man., where my dad, George Boucher, volunteers,” writes Kim Ferguson of Tumbler Ridge, B.C. “No one in this tiny community of about 500 knows what it is. Does anyone have any ideas?” If you think you can help Kim identify this object, please send your answers to ourcanada.ca.
