Need Help with my newly found specimen

Good Day to ALL!

As I am cleaning my Mom's backyard, I stumble with with a tree called Fortune Plant. I had researched in the net and the scientific name of this is dracaena sanderiana. As I'm looking at it, I noticed a great looking trunk that is carved and decayed in a natural way. I really got so interested with it so I thought I can make it as one of my specimen. The thing is I really don't know if this kind of tree is suited as bonsai? Anybody out there who tried making this as a specimen for bonsai?

Is it actually living?
Looks like you cut back real hard, will it shoot back on old wood? If it does then it will b3e quite interesting exposed root.

Hmm! I think root over rock is great with this one.
Yah, it's still living, for now (LOL).
I think it would grow new buds easily. Hope so...
Will update you guys with the new development.
Thanks for the suggestion guys. :tu:
