    laminating a another top to my benchtop to increase thickness

    So I'm in the process of building my roubo, of sorts, and I'm coming to the realization that a 2.75" top is gonna be too thin. So I have a bunch of alder 2.5"x2"x8' boards that will be laminated. I was thinking of doing it in maybe 3 8" sections, then laminating maybe an 8"X1"x8' board of hard maple to add another inch of thickness. Does anyone think I will have problems with movement with this many joints and directions? I've already got most of the alder ready to go. But by the time I get it all planed its only gonna be 2.5ish 2.75 if I'm lucky inches thick. image.jpg
    If this is a dumb question please just humor me, this is literally my second hand tool project behind a small dovetail box.
