   Much of the "butcher block" from stores is pecan. I bought one 25 yrs ago, 2" thick, and it's now in its 3rd kitchen with no problems.

   goyo,

   Pecan is a difficult wood to work, as I'm sure you know if this is leftover from a project.  That said, it should make a good top for your bench--hard, heavy, and tough.

   Good luck,
