Or at least, a side table. What is the process of doing that? I have basic hand tool for working on some other small project, a small circular saw(that attached to a marble cutter), and an electric planer, what else would i need?

you can cut a radius line to at least protect the part of the pattern that pleases you most. Instead of splitting arbitrarily from a couple of places, the wood will just widen the cut and dry relatively intact

but with a slab like this, i would have rather cut a diameter to try to keep one side intact (or 2 sides) 2025-08-16-b
