    Stopped last night on the way home at a discount store. Happened to spot these and bought a bag. Tastes like root beer! IMG_1791.JPG

    I recently learned that its can be bought as decking and exterior one by two stock as well. Must be like working Western red cedar.

    oops, sorry for the confusion. No, sassafras wood can be. Heartwood is rot resistant even though the wood itself is soft.
    The candy would make for some SWEET decking!:rofl: :lol:

    The customer brought me the logs off his property he wanted 1" boards to make a table it sawed real easy on the mill I used a 10 degree blade and they came out real nice first time sawing sassfrass on the mill it was about 100 BDFT as far as inhaling with the mill you inhale a lot of dust even with the mask but this time of year the mask is a hassle cause it fogs up my glasses so at the end of the day even your teeth are dusty YUM :D:drool: JB

    Sasafras is good exterior wood ,the Amish here use it to make buggy. I used sasafras to build my log splitter trailer,old timers say " light as poplar , strong as oak "

    I love those! I get them at my local farm and garden supply store in town.

    My last shopping trip to the farm supply store consisted of:

    candy
    22 rounds
    Ice melt
    Gorilla Tape
    10 lag bolts
    A jug of bar oil
    Bird seed
    Dog treats
    A pair of leather gloves
    3 pairs of heavy duty socks

    How’s that for random?

    We have also used them for fence posts many times. Not as good as locust but will still last a good length of time.

    Amazon has this. A bit more than Brad paid for it.
