I'm into furniture making and the question about using plywood for benchwork framing has been on my mind. Plywood is a lot more stable, meaning very little expansion/shrinkage with changes in humidity. Also I would use sheetrock screws to join pieces together. If one makes a error in cutting or whatever, removing a screw doesn't damage the wood as removing a nail would. I framed up my basement walls using screws and had to make changes, which was easy. One can laminate strips pf ply to obatain the desired thickness for framework again screwing the pieces together.
