Rustic.

I can't remember where I picked it up. It is an old way of dealing with burls in Northern Scandinavia, I've only tried it a few times, boil it for a couple of hours, then when it is cool, peel the bark off.

Yes. Jay, I had a piece of Gabon ebony that was just a quarter section of a log, with the cream colored sap and bark on it still. Only about 6" long. I hand polished that to about 1200 grit and then ran it over a pipe makers emory wheel. Looked like a piece of obsidian with bark on. Sat around...

Willie, if you boil it, the bark should come off easily. Then handsand the wood and give it a nice finish.

Art! It is a pity shipping is so expensive. I would love to turn that into something for you.

From the bark ridges it looks like there could be some interesting grain in that. I'd make a chuck for it, so I could center it on the lathe and turn a highly polished donut from it. No practical use, just decorative. Why don't you bring it on over, we'll see what we can do with it.
