What could be made with these?

I have these 3 pieces of cedar beams left overs… the only thing I can think is shelves. Boring. Granted I am a novice at wood working but what would you make with them?

They are 6x12x36.

I can think of a lot of things. Top of mind: Bowls! Vases! Bottle stoppers!, Pens! Lazy Susans! Pepper mills!, 3D puzzles! Hollow forms! Lidded boxes! Rectangular boxes, planters, mailboxes, bird houses, … (I’m a wood turner if you haven’t figured it out from the list).

These would make an awesome anvil base

I have never used a lathe… I should take the next available class. I bet you can do some beautiful things with it.
