Most worked fine. i think the raw materials are less important than their dimensions and the bench’s design. megan fitzpatrick and i encountered laminated veneer lumber (in the video i erroneously call it lvl) used as a worksurface at a noodle restaurant near the popular woodworking offices. of course, i’d seen lvl before in commercial. This project may seem daunting, but the steps are simple: cut the wood, make the legs, create planks and the backboard, assemble the bench top, then put it all together and add any finishing touches. since this is all wood, it’s super important to treat and polish it regularly..
