...it's the only wood I'm actually afraid to bend... I think my favorite quote is for people who ask "Can you do a soft cutaway?" is "sure, as long as you don't mind if it's pointed"
Most woods give you some sort of warning but with the Tree you sometimes don't know you've cracked it until you take it out of the bender. The sausage tend to be harder to bend than the blister in my experience.
As for availability, I expect it will keep turning up in small amounts. The original milling of the log yielded 12,000 bf of lumber, as has been mentioned, most went to furniture (and paneling at Skywalker Ranch) but like Brazilian, a lot of furniture can be replaced at the going rate for this wood.
