I once bought a dried highly figured guitar tone wood set that resembled this. I have a controlled environment storage area for wood but within two weeks the wood had developed so many cracks it was useless. Even relocating wood like this can cause problems.
It could be made into something nice. Live edge furniture is insanely popular right now. I made a dining room table and a bar top with wood like this three years ago. Fill the cracks with black epoxy, level and sand then apply pour on table top epoxy. It looks incredible. The only touchy part is degassing the finish at the proper time using a quickly moving propane torch. Not hard but not forgiving.
