    Usually you want trees grown in forests for lumber as they grow straight upwards due to limited space. Free standing trees are usually bent in all kinds of shapes so they’re not as easy to work with. It’ll most likely be turned into firewood.

      You could turn it into hundreds of bowls. Or cut small pieces and glue them up into cutting boards and such. There are uses for kinky wood, but you’re right that it’s not useful for making things where you want long straight dimensional lumber.
