That sounds like it would work fine. You would probably want to glue it up. The glued boards would help stabilize each other if you pay attention and reverse the growth rings at each joint. The vertical rails I glued to the ends of my boards help prevent cupping even more.locally on 3/4" mahogany board,
You might be interested in seeing a set I'm working on right now. I'm happy with how it's coming out so far.
