Should be fine. I've been using a sassafras hiking stick weekly for
3-4 years and it hasn't broke yet. Looks like a very light-color
wood.

Sitting here looking at the desk organizer I made from Sassafras: It is
somewhat open grained, on the order of ash or oak but smells way better
when you are milling it (especially compared to oak. I used danish oil on
mine and it is a nice rich brown color. Not sure why you would want to
seal or stain it; it is a nice enough looking wood without muddying it up.
