Fallen Tree

I have a large monkey puzzle in my lawn that fell during the recent storms. It's around 40 years old I think. Is there anything people can recommend I do with it? I could probably cut it up for timber but I'm wondering if they're used for anything else. I read elsewhere that they used be used for making railway sleepers…

I read elsewhere that they used be used for making railway sleepers but I'm thinking there might be something a little more arty someone could do with it. Failing that it's going in the stove.

Monkey puzzle turns really well! Find your local woodturning guild, they will be fighting over it for bowls etc.

Damn I thought doing a search for "monkey puzzle" would be a waste of time.
