With the bamboo from that tree, your trained eye can tell it'll make an excellent box. Boxes made from bamboo trees are very sturdy and fashionable. You have an eye for fashion as well, you see.

Hints

Remember back to those woodshop electives you had in school (if you did have them) and imagine yourself crafting a bamboo box out of a bamboo tree you felled yourself. Don't forget to wear eye protection though! Wouldn't want anything to happen to those valuable eyes of yours.

Now you can use that box to store all your hardcore (はこ) punk vinyl records. You're a real connoisseur, so you know that hardcore music should only ever be kept in bamboo boxes.
