Bench top question (lemmy.world)

I'm taking an ash tree down on my property next week and I'm gonna build a work bench with it. I want it to be a hefty boy, so I'm going the roubo route.

Question is, since I can ask the mill for specific cuts, is there any reason I shouldn't just get one monstrous 6" slab from the middle of the trunk and use it?

Of course, this is all very hypothetical. I'm prepared for all the wood to be useless junk, just planning for ideal circumstances
