New house - using wood from cut down tree

We're remodeling our house and will have to take down a big laurel oak to make room. We love the tree so we'd like to use the wood from the tree in some way in the house to remember it. It's big, 60-70 ft tall, 3-4 ft diameter.
Any ideas? Kitchen/dining table, chairs, accent wall covering, coffee table? Don't need a mantle.

Have you already got someone hired to cut it and a sawmill to cut it up for you?

Make a kitchen or coffee tables. Make sure it is as dry as the inside of your house, or you'll end up with some gaps
