I don't saw much Sassafras; most of the trees are small. This one was about 20" DBH but the butt log went to turning blanks. At about 12' up is was only 12" diameter but still enough for a few boards.

Due to the excellent sound properties, I might use some of this to make a dulcimer and a bowed psaltry. I've used Sassafras for turned music boxes in the past.
