Well, you could trade it to a caravan, for one.  On the other hand, you could use it to create a cage trap, which captures enemies sometimes.  I'd suggest selling it, since cages are simple enough for dwarfs to make.

As far as I know, you cannot trade artifacts away.  You can do with it is build it in a room to raise its value and have passing dwarfs admire it.  It could also be used as a reusable building destroyer lure, as it is indestructible, but as it is wood this could cause problems should the titan/fb be made of fire.

There was also a bug a while back that made artifact cages the only cages that could be escaped from.  I am not sure if it has been fixed yet, so even using it as a cage is risky.

I guess that's what you should have used the cage to contain...

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.
