Which Way to Laminate for My Workbench?

I would go with the 4×6 method. It’s a little hard to explain
why quickly. I think the 2×10s might move more out of flat and
perhaps de-laminate over time.

I’d glue edge to edge too. Also, try to pick boards that are as close to quartersawn as possible. This will be easier to do with the narrower stock.

What kind of wood will you be using?

Wow, I was surprised to see two votes for edge gluing! I’m glad I posted this. Thanks for the feedback, guys!

Oh, and Dorje, I will likely be using kapur or light red meranti. Nothing special about the qualities of those two kinds – it’s just that that’s what’s most abundant here.
