I like your choice for workbench styles to build; I am too in the process of building a Roubo workbench. I did a lot of research on wood properties, hardness and strength, and decided to build mine out of ash. I bought 2x12 from a local sawmill/kiln and ripped them into 2x4. Then I used a jointer and planer to flattened and square them. I am ready to start gluing the top together. or the legs I had 6x6 oak beams cut, and will square them to the 5x5 final dimensions. The ash was a lot of work and flattening 8' long boards was very tricky and time consuming. I am anxious to watch your progress of the workbench unfold! Robert in Nebraska.
