odor should tell you if it is sassafras. I have my doubts

 

[old CB]

Got any twigs or small branches to show?

I also doubt sassafras, which has deeply furrowed bark.

 

[TheJollyLogger]

Definitely ignis lignorum

 

[Thumper88]

Does it have any kind of strong smell to it?

 

[Ikeholt]

Maybe Sweetgum
