There are pros and cons for softwood and hardwood tops. A lot can depend on the type of work to be done. A softwood top is much more forgiving when you drop a crisp sharp corner of a finished piece of furniture on it. My radiata pine bench top is standing the test of time. 30 years on and only 2 sandings back
