Gnarly trunk & zigzagging makes stunning patterns in the timber. Granted more challenging ( more chances of it blowing apart while turning) but most turners would prefer it like that.

Cut it down today. Here's the main trunk  I was planning on keeping some of the wood for the wildlife wood piles but, as well as canker, it's got quite a bit of woolly aphid and some sort of maggot has been eating the bark.

You could do all manner of things with that ^^^^ TMTT.
Fill it with soil and plant into it,
Make a tunnel for wildlife
Push a pipe through it and turn it into a fountain
Stand it on your dining table with a candle in
Cut it in circles and use them as pot supports.............

I could go on................and on...............and on..............

I’d go with all of veggies suggestions. Definitely not good for turning.
It’s an interesting peace.
