If it were chipped bark it'd say it'd be great for the perennial beds etc, but the wood itself adds very little if any nutritional value.. It would help to add organic matter to the soil (improving texture etc) but that would take a long while and tie up N in the process (as mentioned). If I had it I would use it for paths (above cardboard or newspaper) and throw the surplus in the compost pile.. Just keep in mind that it'll cool the compost without adding an alternative N source - plenty of grass clippings, alfalfa meal, kitchen scraps or even some fish emulsion etc...
