neal.don asks:
It's a hardwood that's fairly soft and easy to work. Light, great smell, good looking grain (IMO), darkens to a kind of dull orangish brown after a time. Splits if nailed too near a side or end. Glues well. Finishes well.
Oh, yeah. It's durable. I've got just about enough to make a couple of birdhouses, so I'll try it come late winter.

ALL wood is good, some is simply misunderstood.

I used sassafras to make the T-handle on my vise. It seemed the only choice. Roger Poplin dba snipped-for-privacy@aol.com
