[Woodcarver] Bench Top Materials

[Doug Nielsen]

Howdy All !
   
  I am thinking of building a new bench top from KD Doug fir. 
  I know Bill suggests hard wood for the tops because they wear well, but old Chris Pye says that soft is better for absorbing the blows.
  Any thoughts or experiences either way ??? Love to here them
  Thanks, Doug Nielsen....................
