Possible walnut kitchen table

[lshah72414]

I have approximately 150 board feet of 3/4" walnut, which has been jointed and planed.
I was thinking of fabricating, or trying to, a round kitchen table 36" x 40" with two leaves.
My quandry is I want to glue the 3/4" pieces together to make an 1.5" thickness top.
Now the glue up will be hidden by the legs and the skirt.
Do you think this will work? Or am I wasting my time?
Thank you.

I have a maple kitchen table from the 60s that is maybe 1" thick.  My dining table is walnut or something similar and I'd be surprised if it was even a full 3/4". Both have skirts, neither one has had any issues with bowing.  Both are relatively easy to move with only two people.

What is the reasoning behind going to a full 1 1/2" thick top?

My reasoning for wanting a 1.5" top is I was concerned when attaching everything with the fasteners, I would be close to the top, or I might even plunge through the top since it was only 3/4" thick.
Also, I thought 1.5" would give it more stability as the kitchen floor is ceramic and all the bumping and pulling on the table would be more rough on it in the long term.

[*]Can you lift said 1-1/2" table top unassisted?
[*]Are you willing to build a base that can support the weight of said top without being tippy?
[*]Do you recognize that placing that kind of weight on a ceramic tile floor may crack the tiles?
[*]Are you willing to re-engineer the floor as needed to support the point loading of the table to prevent tile cracking?

The table it would be replacing, was pecan wood and it was 1.5" thick.
The ceramic tile has held up well with it.
I am very careful when I move table, so as not to jar legs.
My experience level is not high, that is why I was asking. If consensus is .75" is ok, I would probably, take the advice and build it as such.

A large table top that is only 3/4 thick will look too skinny visually. Making it 1.5 thick with twp boards will not be so appealing to the eye where you see the glue up.
