Did well not to drop an ash into it. Good technique, best I get is a triangular island with things I've tried.

A day off and I'm leveling, crowning, polishing the frets on this Charvel.

Re: What's on your work bench?
As long as it's strong and stable, a workbench doesn't care what it's made of. It's not furniture; don't waste beautiful wood on it.
Don't talk to me about failure; sometimes I even fail to disappoint myself.

Use paint.
35 years ago, I built a workbench from pine 4x2 and 25mm ply liberally coated in flooring poly. My replacement in the marriage liked it so much he took it with him when they moved. He still tells me how much he enjoys using it.
I have given much service to others.......

Well just make sure you don't spend so much time admiring it you never put a mark on it. A proper workbench should be relic'd!

It will be relic'd like a custom shop 59 LP every ding will have a story. This one is only for hand tool use, I have a shitter that I don't mind cutting through with the circular saw

Faceplate before and after, I purposely went with a slightly bolder text. I also put the original rubberised knobs back on, they were loose fitting so I had replaced them with set screw knobs, but now found a way to make them fit tight.
