I owe some apologies

Sassafrass canes, walking sticks...yep...can be used for a ton of things. The canes are nice to make because when you dig the root it makes the 90* curve....then I remove the bark it does leave that redish color on it when dry. Then when you sand/carve it makes a nice design.
If eating the leaves keep in mind the Indians long ago dried / crushed them and added to food as a thickening agent. Does it do that to the blood?....I don't know but lard does.....
