IF this is usable after drying I'll make lams out of it and use some for a tri-lam.

I agree with Wayne. I think there's 2 billets I there, and maybe some lams, but it's hard to imagine the dimension there. How long is that? I think you could split the top (distal) half into two billets.

Keep looking. Might be some neat riser pieces in that.
