I posted a wood gloat about a month ago. I have about 15 pieces of walnut ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 inches thick. I have 2 pieces that are a lot of sapwood and was wondering about making a benchtop out of one or two of the pieces.
Now one thing is, this stuff is hard! I hit it with a hammer pretty good and no mark what so ever.
What are some thoughts on using this as a workbench top and should I use a slab or should I make a butcher block style top? One piece I believe is big enough to make a 24" x 6' x 2" thick top by itself as a slab.
