liriodendron tulipfera makes and excellent timber for general joinery but looking at that trunk i reckon it would be best cut for a high end cabinet maker as it looks to have some nice figure in it.

 

i hope it does not go to waste.

 

at 4' it could at least make some great table tops if milled at 2 1/2"...

Still worth milling.
Unless it's in rings.

that would still make fantastic vase blanks Al.

 

seems a shame to waste it.

 

mill at 6-8" square and they would look great.
