Farm/Building implement?

Found in vets park in central California several years ago. New to detecting; wasn’t even sure what to do with it. Going through old finds.

Hope is approximately 1/2”. Looks like old wood chips on one end. But the chips are almost petrified.

Not a clue as to what that could be. Resembles a potato to me... lol

Hmm, in the last photo the vertical sides look kinda flat. Will have to think about this for awhile (hopefully one of the smart TNeters will give you an answer by then). BTW the scale is nice. Brings back memories of working as a draftsman.
