I can buy used 12 foot sections of bowling alley lanes. Do you think they would make a good workbench top? Thanks to the constructive respondents.

Absolutely!
With a proper frame under it, it'd be darn near indestructible for anything but welding.
It'd also make an outstanding woodworking bench.

I just called the guy that has them, he said they are "hard rock maple" . He said they are 2 inches thick 42 wide and have angle iron underneath. I told him I'd be there in the morning.

As others have said they would be excellent.
I scrounged about an 6' piece of bowling alley once and used it for a landing on the stairway in a cabin I built. The piece I had was maple all the way through.

My brother has a bench made out of an old lane. You will be amazed at how much that thing's going to weigh.
Makes a dandy work surface though.
