Beech is plentiful in this part of the world, but good Maple would serve just as well. I think that pine will be too soft fro the top as it’s primary function is as a holding device, but I also cut dovetails and large tenons on it – so it gets a lot of hammering.

I had to go out of town later that day and it was gone when I got back. I had thought that I couldn't pass it up for that price if it was still around. I couldn't buy the wood for that price!
