Any wood will work. My benchtop is glued up 2x4 pine studs, finished
with danish oil. Spent lots of time flattening the top. I redo the
top every 3-4 years. A good bench should be large, sturdy and
heavy.

Thats what I made my first bench out of but I ripped the things into
2x2's and glued them up. Still going strong after 30 years but that was
my very first wood working project. I've since learned it's much better
to use 2 x 6's as they are about as cheap, easier to find higher quality
boards than the studs, and glue up is simple and fast.
