What to do with large dogwood logs

My brother and I pulled several large pieces of freshly cut dogwood from a neighbors trash pile. We had visions of making some tools for green woodworking, froe clubs, mauls, and gluts. But the logs are so big, I think we'd end up wearing ourselves out and wasting most of the wood. There are two four foot+ straight, fairly clean logs with no branches, one tapers from around 12" at the butt to 9-10" at the top. The other is 8-9" at the bottom and 7-8" at the top. We also have the branch section from the middle with one dead limb and three live ones. That section has a dead core running thru the pith which runs into the ends of each clean log. It is about 2" in diameter on the large log and a little smaller on the "small" log. We have a fourth clean log about 6" x 2' with a couple of softball sized nodes where fairly good sized limbs were removed and healed over.

I thought about cutting the 2' section into 12" lengths and making massive mallet heads to use for driving gluts and hatchet heads used as a wedge. The limb stumps coming out of the branch section are all at least a foot long and 5" in diameter. Is there any way they could be cut out and made into gluts? I'm not much of a turner but I thought we could salvage what we could from the big logs to make bowls. Or maybe save parts to carve bowls or spoons.
