Jarrah Workbench Top Thickness

jeudi 19 juin 2014

I'm planning on building a roubo style workbench similar to that described in Christopher Schwarz more recent book, using some well aged Jarrah beams I have lying around. The wood is a bit rough, but after I trim it I expect it to come in at about 2.75"x5.5" useable thickness. What I am wondering is, given the hardness of Jarrah, would the 2.75" thickness be sufficiently rigid for the top? It would be significantly more efficient for me in terms of the number of beams I'd need to use when laminating. Also a 5.5" top seems excessive, so I'd probably have a fair bit of waste trimming that down. FYI the top I am planning would be about 6' long and 20-24" wide.
