Antique Purple Heart Timber Ship Frame - Lumber - Slab Odd Shape Resaw or Sculpt

Description

Hi.
Local pickup only in Flourtown, PA.
Here is a
odd shaped chunk of
Purple Heart.
This odd wedge piece weighs approx 80 lbs.
50" long x 13" wide" x 9.5" tapering to 1.5" When I picked this up, I was told that it was part of a ship's hull. It could be over 200 years old and has tight grain and tons of character. Some cracks and checks. Planed on one side, some carving on one side.
I collected years ago and I am not going to be able to use to its' full potential, so it's time to move it along. It has been stored in a relatively dry barn.  Break it down into smaller pieces?  Resaw it into pen blanks? Use as a base for a sculpture?
Please see picts or ask questions.
