Howdy folks
I am about to embark on building a Roubo bench using the Benchcrafted plans and hardware. I want to use White Ash. Talking to one of my suppliers, I learned that he has a large quantity of 16/4 Ash that I can get a good deal on. I can't think of any drawbacks to using 16/4 to laminate the bench top slabs, but am I missing something? As far as I can figure, the only difference would be half as many glue lines on the top.
This is a significant expense for me so I wanted to hear some opinions before I purchase. The legs on the Roubo plan are also 3.5" thick, so it would save me from having to glue up the legs as well. Thanks!
