Why not resaw the hickory into 1/8" thick pieces on the bndsaw? That's

Excellent suggesstion.



I'm not sure that I'd want that thin a veneer on my table top. I tend to
pound things there, once in a while.

My 'workbench in a weekend' plan, from ShopNotes I think, has a top of
three layers of 3/4" cabinet ply, with a 1+" thick fire-rated MDF door on
top of that.

Maybe I'll make a fancy Euro bench when I get more studio space...
