Love sassafras!! We have plenty but not many over 10-12”. Cut a bunch 12 years ago for posts to make our chicken pen. Still solid as the day we made it. Makes great kindling for fire starters ,seasons in a few months. And the smell
Another new tree to me, thanks for sharing! Good job falling, that did look tricky but you put it right where you wanted it. That's always a rush.
There are 2 more about the same size and 1 a little bigger that I have seen in the woods. You're so right! Woodpeckers were on that tree quite frequently. I kind of feel bad taking it from them.
Day off. Split and stacked most of it. Some small limb wood left and a few splits where I'm waiting for the ants to heed their eviction notice. 2/3 black cherry, rest sass. Best smelling stack in the yard! One of the supervisors with the tucked in stack.

I drink sassafras tea.It taste like root beer and is a natural blood thinner.Just don't drink too much of it.
