In the US (Colorado). The hardwood lumber yard has hard maple for
around $3.20/bf, and "steamed European beech" for about $3.00/bf.

Thanks to all you guys for your kind replies.

Sheesh here on the west coast it is over $6 a BF!

Not everywhere on the west coast. And bear in mind that, for a workbench,
color matching and figure may not be all that important to you. You
certainly don't need to buy s4s at Home Depot...
