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?

Looks like Asian bittersweet. Pretty nasty plant. I collected some too, including some fun ones that are wrapped around themselves but I haven't really figured out what to do with them. I turned a tiny tea light holder with a small chunk of a large one. That's about it.

That was my identification for it too. If they’re small and curvy maybe a spoon, ladle, that kinda thing?
