What am I going to do with this Massive Fir Ball?

In 2019, I acquired a large chunk of fir from a tree I slabbed up. The piece of fir has been sitting outside next to the shop for the last 4 years. I finally pulled it out and decided instead of getting rid of it, I would turn it into a massive sphere. I had a little trouble getting it mounted on the lathe. I had to get a chuck spur so I would be able to hold the piece of fir on the lathe. I used the band saw to cut off the excess wood so that turning wouldn't take quite so long. I did a first pass of turning by getting the piece as spherical as I could. I then went through the process of making a sphere by rotating the workpiece about its axis over and over, getting it more and more spherical. Even after it was done, I still wasn't quite sure what I would make out of this sphere. Right now it just lives in our backyard.
