Default ideas for wide yellow cedar

Hi,

I am looking for ideas to utilize some very wide old growth yellow cedar
boards. They are beautiful in that they are very fine grain, uniform in
texture and colour and stable (and great to work). But the same
characteristics also make they very plain (no figure etc.)

The only decent idea I have is to make native style square boxes with either
carved or appled native art.

I have things I can make if I cut them up but I can't bring myself to rip
them.

As a piece of wood most people (wood workers anyway) think they are
wonderful. Any ideas how that could be retained in a piece of furnture.

Thanks
Glen
