What is the woodworker sitting astride?
Taken from a 1949 publication, the answer is animal related...

Gee, I'm here first and I can't think of the name of it. 
But what I'm thinking of is probably wrong anyway.

This thing is for veneer so it is not a horse, shaving or otherwise...

Hey Ralph,
I couldn't remember the name, so I had to look it up. In the spirit of eschewing internet sources, I'll wait until our collective knowledge is exhausted before I chip in. However, the device I'm thinking of, is a sort of horse.

Bingo!
That's what I was thinking of. 
Here's a good explanation of one.
