scotty's buddy in Maine had taken a bunch of trees down a few years ago, scotty got the wood and was going to use it as kindling, cut one piece and was in awe... the stuff looked hideous but it turned sooo nice it turned out to be cherry. I dont know how Jeff dried it out or anything, but man oh man it looked nice!!! If you can keep it for a good amount of time I'd say go for it. Its like when you're doing laundry and find an 50$ in your pants or something, yrs from now you may stumble across the wood and turn something then be like WHOA!!! That was worth the wait..

Domination takes full concentration..

Make sure you seal the ends or it will start checking big time. Anchorseal works great. I have some cherry burls drying now waiting to be turned into a bowl.
