Could you add a sketch. 
I'd have to draw it on paper, sorry. Computer skills are not my forte.

I'm going to be lucky to get 1 & 1/2" thickness. Defects in the wood and mistakes on my part is making this smaller.

I just got done with the 2nd glue up, with the end grain top and bottom. It's about 15" square x 1 & 1/2" thick. All maple.

I hope to make endgrain strips of walnut to go around the outside.
