I want to make a couple of these simple looking outdoor benches, but I can't identify what wood is used here and how I can source it.
It's likely select structural fir (probably douglas) 4x6 material. Pretty common to see it used in commercial construction projects so its not hard to come by at larger lumber yards, just maybe not box stores More on reddit.com

Free wood working bench plans or ones worth the money? I have a bunch of rough poplar..and just got a jointer and planer..
A few thoughts from a professional furniture maker joiner. If you have never used a bench before, you arent really sure what you will need. Planing and sawing require more lateral stability than you think. It cant be too heavy or too stable. The vice and hold-down setup is very personal, and can be very expensive. I can do just about everything (and more) that any vice and dog setup can do with 2 jorgensen wooden hand screws (the kind with 2 blocks of wood and 2 steel threads) and 2 big f clamps. Adding 2 more handscrews gives you insane versatility. Maybe concentrate on a rock solid bench with an eye towards adding vices and holdfasts later? More on reddit.com

June 17, 2025 - Not sure exactly which wood it is but cedar is great for outdoor stuff as it has a high resistance to rotting in the elements. And it smells so very good. ... The other post here about the same bench says they used redwood. ... Old barn beams, look just like that. We have some 4x6s 20 foot and knot free...

Woodsmith Redwood Garden Bench Plan
Any project that sits outdoors has to withstand the elements. This bench is built from redwood which resists decay. Instead of the usual yellow glue a plastic resin glue was used to weather as well as (and maybe even better than) the redwood. Rust-proof brass screws fasten down the seat slats and a few other pieces. The finish used on the bench is a shop-mixed combination of spar varnish and a tung oil sealer. This combination offers the penetrating protection of an oil and the slight sheen provided by a varnish. And with just a few modifications to the bench you can build a matching Redwood A
