It is of no moment what it actually is because I suspect it will be eminently suitable for the intended purpose. It originally was a plank about 8 inches wide by 2 1/2 thick and 12 feet long. It was used as a wooden platform. Hope you can help 4-6-4

Do you have a pic which may assist in identification?

A bit hard to identify timber based on the dimensions of a plank

From your description I would say it is a piece of W-O-O-D.

Hope this helps
