Lead test kits use one of two chemicals—sodium sulfide or rhodizonate—to detect lead by color change. Rhodizonate-based lead kits can yield false positives on red or pink paint; sulfide-based kits can yield false negatives or positives on dark paint. I would consider buying one of each type to test paint of all colors. If you are colorblind make sure that you have someone who isn’t colorblind to assist you.
Stay safe.

I have a similar problem with a different piece: a 9'x3' raised panel freight door. How to repurpose the wood has become a real challenge to me.
