how should i cut into a large carolina cherry burl?

whats up fellas?...and ladies if there are any.

im new here and found this forum off of google. sorry about starting a new topic before i had even posted but im dyin’ to get an answer to my question.

im a tree trimmer for my city in california. but before that i had been a carpenter since high school and was the forman of a cabinet shop. i recently removed two carolina cherry trees. both of which had massive burling.
one in particular had a burl at the top which at its largest point is about 3’ in diamiter. the tree had been dead for quite some time, how long im not sure. but the trunk is completely dried out with no cracks. what im attempting to do is to hollow out solid shell snare drums. true hollow, which there are only a few companies that do this. and even more scarce is 100% burl wood solid snare drums. this is just for me for now. depending on how much work this turns into and how many pieces i lose will determine whether or not i’ll attampt selling them. more than likely it wont be a money thing. if anyone can offer some assistance i would be very thankful.
