[Woodcarver] Sassafrass wood

[Mike & Patty Wilcox]

Thank you so much . 
this is what I was looking for.
It is well seasoned as it is a dead tree & has been for a while.
About 10 to 12'' thick.

    I have carved walking sticks from sasafrass before (green)
    I liked it  I have a dead tree next to me will it be good for carving?
    I think it will but what will it be best for.
    I know it gets real hard when dead.
      Sassafras is a bit brittle when dry and has an open grain. The color is wonderful for faces. The strength it has makes it great for carvings with open space. I have a couple of large pieces on my web site out of sassafras.
