I usually only get to do a few realy big projects during the winter, it's too hot in the summer to do large projects in the garage. I decided that this year I was going to make a Split Top Roubo Bench. I had thought Hard Maple was the best way to go but I wanted to run it by you guys. I've also bought and received the Tauton Press plans. I was disappointed with the plans because they insinuate that they are the Bench Crafted plans when in fact, they just use Bench Crafted vices.
Anywho, what kind of wood would you guys recommend? It needs to be a heavy table to be able to keep still when I use the hand planes.
