TDog, I feel you. In the interest of saving time, I bought two 2 1/4 inch maple slabs from Grizzly to glue-up for the top. I started collecting my douglas fir stack, planning to build the undercarriage from it. Now the more that I look at it, I’m considering going all fir and using the slabs for something else. I passed this question around to all my buddies here and no one has given me a reason NOT to use fir. I think I’m going for it. If you do too, I’ll be looking out for yours!
