if the tree is not workable i wouldnt waste everyones time i would only sell a tree that i would want to buy
anyways i want to bend the middle trunk to the right slightly with that wedge cut technique to bend thick branches but i never did it before a little bit paranoid i might snap the whole thing

Howzit,
Just be careful when you do that technique. I did it to one of my ficus and I think I had put to much "Hawaiian Power" and it broke off.
