As a nurse, I can tell you what my first thought was, but no (also walnut would be a terrible material for that).

my guess was actually going to be "bedpan" but idk how much my nurse background plays into that

I don't think wood is the most suitable material, but in an emergency...

Bedpan was the first thing I thought of too, even before I saw your comment. I'm not a nurse, but I've had to deal with them with loved ones, and that tends to burn something into your brain. 😬
