Is there any means of saving or using it?

There's a company here in Woodburn, Oregon, called Woodsure that is a
side-line business to an industrial plastic resin manufacturing outfit.
Woodsure can take an unusable chunk of wood and impregnate it 100% with
an acrylic resin. I had a couple pieces done as a test and it really
worked to make the wood usable. They can use a clear resin or any number
of colors - and with 100% impregnation, the color goes to the very
center. Pretty cool process and it works very well.

Look them up on the web for further info.

Tips fer Turnin': Pour your end-grain sealer into a clean, wide-mouth
clothes detergent bottle. The lid makes a handy dipping container for
your brush and the leftovers will drain back into the bottle when you
recap the jug.
