The last Moravian bench I built ended up becoming my sharpening bench. Our Fall RV trip to the PNW isn't too far in the future and I need a traveling bench for the trip. The woodstore had some 12/4 Poplar in stock at a fair price for the desert so it will be the base wood. I also picked up a small piece of 8/4 Poplar for the short cross stretchers. They are rough cut. The 12/4 stock is marked for rough cutting to size for the legs and long stretchers. The woodstore was short on 8/4 Beech for the slab, it will require a return trip.
A photo of the Poplar, even Poplar is a heavy sucker once it gets 12/4 thick.
