Your pic seems to show multiple types of wood, but unless I miss my guess, that split piece is Black Birch, very stringy and very high BTUs.

I'm sure you are dead on, looked it up and that is it. Never seen it around here, white birch is all we have and it is soft and needs to be stored dry or it rots quickly.

I’ll second black birch. What does it smell like?

I din't smell it but my wife said it reminded her of birch beer once I told her it was black birch.

I hear ya mate! my casters r for maneuverability. I had planned on some blocks just tall or high enough to raise the casters off the floor to stabilize and locate the workbench. 1/8th" or so... I don't need it locked down, for my main workbench is 16' long and it is made of 4x4 and 2x4s etc. and the back of the top, 2x4s... where the plywood deck attaches topside is bolted directly into the studs in the wall of the house! they attach to sill which is J-bolted to foundation. 3/8ths lag bolts with washers under their heads. the workbench is as rock solid as the house is sitting on its foundation! no joke!... -0- flex! lol

say, can u post up a link or two on those special made workbenches? I would like to see what u r talking about. thanks...
Just jump on YT and serach for japanese workbench or the like and you should find heaps. I could spend weeks failing to make just one of the joints they come up with.
 
This is one of the last big aspens that could have threatened the buildings at the cabin. Despite the crazy crooked trunk it was almost neutrally balanced. Threw the come along and chains on it and it fell perfectly. Probably could have felled with wedges but since the sauna was behind me I figured I’d take the extra time to rig it.

I did displace some bats from one of the woodpecker holes but they appeared to have survived the fall unscathed.
