    What happens to the felled tree in this case? Does it get turned into lumber or what? It’s a famous tree.

    I hope a new tree is planted in its place.

      … and this boy has a suspended sentence as long as he does nothing else bad AND there’s a tree above 10 feet in its place.

      Pay to acquire and maintain the replacement must come from paid community work, 100% post-tax pay toward any tree maintenance first.

      I say 20 years of that to ensure the new tree will take.

      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.
