It is very nicely made, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what it's
for.

The one photo doesn't show all the details of the block but it is possibly
for grinding tool bits of some type on a surface grinder.

Thought about that, but 7/16 is an odd size for a boring bar. You can slide
a 5/16 sq bit in the holes but there does not seem to be any way to grind a
clearance angle on the bit.
