New bandsaw blades came in last night and I went to sawing on some dogwood logs I had. I knew there was hidden treasure in there. :)

I have 3 logs from the same tree and expect all of them to have similar spalting. I cut up a turning square but it turns awful and doesn't do the wood justice. So now I am trying decide what to do with it.
SORRY, but I am a trained expect in spalted wood disposal so you can't have it. :D
I am thinking this might be good to resaw and use in small boxes. In a panel, perhaps bookmatched? Maybe mantel clock?
So give me some ideas on what to use this for. Largest peices I can expect would be 6" wide with most more like 4". But bookmatched that is an 8-10" peice. 12" if I get really lucky.
