Even later to the party, here's mine:

Half a basswood log, 4 pieces of ash for legs. The wood was from trees downed
by the Great Ice Storm of '98. This does multiple duty in and out of the shop as
seating (moaning stool), hewing bench, saw bench, mortising bench, &cetera.
Once in a while I take a jack plane to the top and get it mostly flat.  There ar
e
two holdfast holes to help keep stuff from moving around.
