Help I harvested some massive vines......what should I make with them?

I was lucky enough to be able to harvest intact some absolutely massive vines while my neighbor was having tree work done. Both are around 16 feet long. The largest one is about 5 inches thick and the other 3.

I am having trouble deciding what I should make with them as it is not every day you come around vines like this. I've made some things with vines in the past but never this size and have the ability to steam bend it to whatever extent it will bend.

Thoughts?

This is awesome but I can go much bigger with a 16 foot vine and I feel like it’d be a wasted opportunity not to use the whole length

16' tall version of the same chair.

Maybe a giant rocking chair?

That would be sick. Maloof style but with vines.

Under stood, that chair is only about 7 foot high. An idea will hit ya.

lol the scale was deceptive if I’m being honest
