The diamond shapes are what makes this attractive for canes. I would guess that you could use larger pieces to make other types of things. One that I'm thinking of would be a lamp base. Depending on the size, you might also be able to make some type of coat hangers. (I've got a cedar one that I took a branch around 3 inches in diameter with some smaller branches coming off that. I cut a section about 1 foot long that had two smaller branches then split it down the middle using my bandsaw. I use it in my shop to hang my coat and hat.)
