Where are the corners on an oblong piece of wood?

At the intersections of the edges?

Huh?

I'm not Moe, but "oblong" always meant a rectangle (with four corners)
when I was very young; it was only later that I saw it referred to as an
elongated form of a base shape. I think some of the posters are assuming
the OP meant an oval (although they make mention of a flat side, so maybe
not?) and others are assuming a rectangle...

I not only assumed 'oval'- I also mis-read 'centerline' as 'center'.

'Centerline' seems to favor the idea of an oval-- but has the op been
back to straighten any of us out?
