Ready for Monday morning Sawing. Local Historic Village needs a bridge and going

[just_sawing]

Just got a Load of Sassafras that were going to saw 2X12 planking for a bridge.
Cannonsburg Village is replacing their lumber on a Footbrige and have decided that Sass would work

I love me some sassafras!

This will be a rewarding job. Just think of the people that will be crossing the bridge that was sawn by you and your mill!

Good-Luck. 

[Magicman]

Yes, Sassafras will be an excellent bridge decking.

Definitely a rewarding job,  and some real nice looking logs, of the ones I have sawn, I had to deal with some bowed ones,   david

This will be an interesting project.  Please post more pictures as it progresses! 

I would love to get my hands on some sassafras lumber, but it doesn't grow in this region.

Who named a tree Sassafras?  I don't think I have ever even seen one.  Thanks for the pictures.

I admit my ignorance. I have never been in the South.  Y'all talk about Pecan, grits : and SYP.  It is like you are from a different planet! 8).  Go easy on me, this comment is coming from a guy in OREGON. :D :D :D :D I think they stop some of this stuff (grits )at the border.

Build a gate out of it and twenty years from now it will still be serviceable
Filie the spice in gumbo is the leaves from the tree
It looks like a roses ash with finished and is fairly light.
Will not do in the ground though.
