    That is quite the Sass!!! I have never seen one remotely close to that size. I don't blame you for walking away from the trunk wood, that looks like a nightmare. At least you grabbed some of the small stuff.

    Having a big Sassafras slab dining, or conference room table would be rare and highly valuable :makeitrain"

    I’m always amazed that trees are actually allowed to grow that big in some areas.
    I wonder how big it was when the utility line was put in?
