Sam:
That plank looks as though it was cut right across the center of the trunk; there seems to be bark wane on both edges. It could be well quartered out at either edge (and seems to be), but you might not get wide pieces from it. Also, the Osage I've gotten that included the pith tended to have a LOT of radial checking in the middle. It may well be hard to get anything usable wider than about 4" from that wide plank.
