Found a nice piece of wood - what would you do with it?

I found a really cool piece of wood. The college that I work at has a bunch of 30+ year old crapemertyl trees that are periodically trimmed. After talking to the facilities guy, I was given permission to take any wood I want from the pile. That by itself is awesome as they have all kinds of trees on campus. In addition to a 3 feet cherry log, I got a nice piece of crapemertyl.

What would you do with it?

The whole piece is fairly long and straight, so part of it I'm going to make a bow, and maybe some arrows from the long straight branches (not shown).



This other part has a really cool look to it.





The colors of the bark didn't come through in the image very well, it has a nice look to it.
