Default Maple vs Beech for workbench -- does it matter?

CDX describes the grade of plywood. CDX has one face side, with many
repaired knots & splits, and a back side, X, with essentially whatever
happens to come out. In other words, rough construction grade.


Isn't it "front side grade 'C', back side grade 'D', exterior-use (i.e.
a 'waterproof' glue used) rated' ?

Well, maybe. That sounds familiar, actually. I'm certainly not the expert
on that.

My point was mostly, that not all parts of the bench need to made with
'furniture grade' material, in order to be useful.
