wood piece found

[Moe (fl)]

Found this piece of wood at the beach last week near the surf. Is it part of anything old?

Thanks for the replies!

Yep, it is part of an old tree. Shipwreck wood is a strange art. Most guys have to touch it and poke it and sniff it before making a guess as to it's age, origin, or purpose. Your piece certainly looks interesting, but I know I'd hate to hazard a guess. I've handled enough to make pretty good guesses, but not from a photograph.

thanks for the reply.

I had posted this topic under what is it

A couple of suggestions were an old wooden fid and a 1700s fishing tool.

I like the fid idea...I can see it. Cool, thanks!

Looks like driftwood.This is what shipwreck wood looks like exposed on the beach.

The hole looks man made.

Can anyone guess what type of wood it may be?
