This is Iroko wood, which is a very dense and weather sturdy African wood. It is a great exterior wood and is often used in boatbuilding. I band sawed a curve in the top surface for fun and also when it gets wet on the back deck moisture and shrinkage issues are minimal. Through tenon mortices make it for a very strong workbench table. 16" x 36" x 32" ht. - I like Sam Maloof's simple oil mix finish recipe - linseed oil & turpentine etc.
