How to save this burl

I found this blank hidden away in a corner of the garage - may have been there for 20 years or more. There is something written on it but is almost unreadable. It could be "Tas Oak Burl". It has been dipped in wax. The size is 175 x 175 x 75mm.



I am concerned with the two areas shown in the closeups. Image 2 shows the chip on the top which has completely separated from the blank. It is 45 x 25 x 6mm. The larger 'knot' is still reasonable well attached and is 135 x 70 x 25mm (image 3).



The gum veins shown clearly on the left side of image 2 and upper left of image 3 might also be a problem when I start to turn so would like to stabilize them now to avoid or minimize problems later.



Put simply my problemis that I have no idea of how to proceed, so would welcome your collective advice.



Thanks



Bob
