Walnut Roubo Workbench

Hi, this is my recently completed walnut roubo workbench. I didn't originally plan on making a workbench out of such extravagant wood, but i got lucky. I happened across a craigslist post for a few old walnut beams. When I went out to see them they were in pretty rough condition, having sat outside under tin for a few decades. I took a chance and in the end they cleaned up well and for a price less than what i'd spend on a comparable ash or maple bench. I did have to epoxy a few major checks and dig out enough nails and lag screws to build a small treehouse but that was part of the fun.
