I did some research about the use of Sassafras wood during the colonial days...apparently it was considered almost magical, said to repel evil. Most household kitchen utensils were fashioned from Sassafrass when it was available...cups, spoons, noggins, tankards, etc. Doors were also prized if made from a Sassafrass .
That Kephart looks awesome
