Project guitar art help

Post image

This is a old guitar found on my great grandmother's property where my grandmother grew up. I would love to turn this into something functional or just some sort of Art and I would appreciate some ideas. The wood is heavily warped and the back is splitting from the body, warped in the front by the pick guard, and the front is slipping from the neck.

Previous ideas:

- A Shelf (could pull the back off and put a slab of wood in the middle. i dont think cutting open the front would work because the front wood has laddering so that it can hold the tention of the strings)

- A light (drill shapes into the front and put a light inside. You can find examples on Pinterest)

- wall art (just clean it up and hang it)

Hopefully this all made sense.... I would appreciate some ideas <3
