Any ideas what to do with this treasure?

Well, it's been said that one hedge apple post will wear out two
holes. If there ever was a wood for outdoor furniture, this (that) is
it. You can give it to your grandkids. Or, you could spend $15/bf on
teak and not have any interesting stories. I also have a friend who
sells firewood--he says it burns extremely well.
