For the guy with the tablet question. What if he glued a spline into the long grain side of the piece, and left it dry in the end grain face with dowels securing it from the bottom. The dowels would not go all the way thru and the spline would have oblong holes. This way the end grain piece can expand along the spline but still be secured.
In a way this design sounds like the 4 pieces would each expand out in a different direction, almost like a pinwheel.
