Ok, that's about a lifetime's worth of wood, there! How do you plan to work it all?

Sweet Home wood? Exteriors look different but seems most likely.
Before you divide that round into bookends, be sure to cut and polish the heel to make sure it's not an exotic. It's probably worth more as full round slabs and can be shared more broadly that way if it is.
That looks like a knot in the second photo and if that's not a complete round you might be more pleased with the results if you rip cut it. Something to consider.
When do you get your saw? I'm only about an hour away and curious enough to see what's inside that I'd cut it for you if you brought it up. Same for the forked one. One of my 24's is on a hydraulic feed and would get through it in a couple of minutes.
