Another what is it

Wooden object for you to peruse.

 

About 9 inches long overall. 

One of the curved faces has leather stuck to it.

The black line is a very thin slit from hole to hole the full thickness of the piece.

I think my dad had one of those.

 

He hit us with it when we got out of line, but I never saw it used for anything else.

Beethoven's tuning fork.

Funny thing there is my first thought was @$$ whippah.  

 

My other guess mightah been a brake shoe of sorts.

I vote for some kind of brake shoe, considering the leather lining.

I think it's a wrench of some sort, the holes go on pins and the handle is used for tightening or loosening. 

AKA A-whipper!

Has anyone heard anything out of @formariz? He would probably know.

I had the same thought Bob.   Last I heard Cas was back in Portugal.   Sure do miss him.

My Google picture ID says it's a wine bottle holder  ?

I don't know what it is! What am I a genius?

Nope it won't shine me bald head

Google lens says that it is part of a Farrand organ, which makes sense with the leather and fine slot.

I spoke with him back in November.  He was back stateside, as of then.  I hope things are well with him too!
