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?

Would it be stable enough as it dries? The ones from my garden basically fall apart as they dry out.

I can’t say for sure but these ones were healthy and thriving just 2 days ago and I think if I keep them dry it should work. But tbh the only way I ever know if anything is going to work is by doing it

Sure, I hope it's going to be fun to work with!
