After recent maple floor install I got bunch of low grade planks left over with knots and discolorations as well as a big pile of cutoffs which I decided to glue together and make a workbench top. I was also making my own trim so I ended up with some defective boards and shorts that I laminated into thicker stock for workbench frame.
After laminating flooring I planed away tounge and around half of grove part, it ended up being sligtly over 2 inches thick. probably will be 2" after final surface leveling.
