I bought some walnut at an auction and am using to build a large cabinet.
Well, the bargain wasn't all that good cause the wood is distorted and full
of knot holes.

It's called low-grade wood. Avoid the holes and cut to use for small
projects. If still not enough, accept your lot and be wiser next
time. I got a piece like that among some other good stuff, but it was
free, so no loss at all. Enough for a few good small projects though.
