Hi Gary,
I am building the workbench you constructed in FWW a couple of years ago and intend to build the top out of European Beech. Can you recommend a glue for this and do you think it is worth adding hidden screwed rods to hold the laminations together?
Best Regards, Greg

Greg,
Ah, here’s your note. Sorry I didn’t see this earlier. It’s not my bench as you later noted, but here’s what I’d do.
Use a plastic resin glue. It will give you more time for gluing up, won’t creep or stretch over time, and it’s tough stuff.
As for rods, if you doubt your glue-up, use them. If not, then there’s no need.
Gary
