I know pallets would be the optimal choice, but I can't find any around.

I’d go with 2 inch thick red oak planks

Need some mass to take the pounding

Pallets, painted in acorn.

That will work. But in my opinion...

MDF is a tad more expensive but it makes a great work surface, especially for wood working. And you should go 1” if you can. But 3/4” plywood will be more than serviceable.

Don't recon I could move 1 in MDF***

It’ll work. Heck I did a project where I set up two saw

horses with a 14’ extension ladder between them and chip board cut to width to cover the rungs.

I did treat the chipboard with two coats of shellac before applying the acorn stain though.

I always do a high grade pine plywood A-C maybe


May 7, 2020, 10:30 PM

then I stain it and put about 10 coats of poly gloss. It can take a pounding and will still look good. I'm in my 4th house that I have built work benches in.
