Primitive WOOD MOLD or KITCHEN TOOL

By chotchke, 18 December, 2010
Description

 This appears to be an antique or primitive tool of some sort.  It may be some kind of wooden mold or kitchen/farm object in that it resembles a squared-off rolling pin, with ridges.  It's covered with very tiny holes (termites?) and there are a few areas where the wood is cracked or broken (along one edge, the bottom surface, and between a few ridges).  The rest of this piece is very smooth and solid.  Does anyone know what this is?  When/where it was made/used?  Value?
