    If you can get it under cover it dries aprox 1" (from outside inwards) per year.
    I work with bogoak and sculpture a little but I prefer the natural shapes. In Manorhamilton, Co Leitrim there is a 'Sculpture Center' who would be interested in such a large piece. When dried (I have about twenty pieces drying out these past six years) and you want to display it outside, you would need to coat it with 'Boiled Linseed oil' to stop it deteriorating. I just coated on of my pieces yesterday that sits in my garden.
    I know one guy who fills a crate every week (4'x4') and ships it off to the USA and gets paid around £400 stg for it, so it could be worth quite a bit.
    I would try Leitrim Sculpture Center if I had it.

    Best of luck
