Wood jig? Part of farm implement? Need your eyes please..

[Minrelica]

My friend send me this photo today asking if I knew what it might be. It's 10ft long and made of wood.

I thought it may be some type of device that could be slid left-right to regulate 'something' perhaps. I thought there may have been a couple more of them, held together by bars running through the holes but that seems like overkill given there are 43 holes + the oblong hole.

After some thought and possibly a bit of input, my friend now thinks this could be a furniture jig for bending chair backs. If we are going that route, I'd have to throw rockers in there as well.

What do you guys/gals think?

At 10' long, that would be one hell of a hammock!

I think that may be a possible solve.
