What is this tool??

I agree with Rich and Tom , I think it's a reamer for furniture making . The handle was probably at right angles to the blade .
Useful in chair making .

The old hand augers I have seen usually have a screw type of tip so that the tool can easily bite into the material .

Its a taper auger used for tapering an already drilled hole, for making bung & tap holes, & as stated for fitting legs to plank seat chairs.It normaly has a t-shaped handle.
