Curious if this is anything and if so, what it would've been used for. Groove goes all the way around except for about a 1.5 inch spot on one side.

Yes it is something made by Native Americans. We call them a Maul here in East Texas, And a very nice example. Thanks for sharing!

Yep, I'd say it's a maul.
