That's exactly what I was trying to describe above. Another idea is a mini circular saw with a saw width the same as the width of the wood. Clamp a few together and run them across the saw blade set at half the thickness of the wood and move them across for each cut the width of the wood. They should theoretically all lock together then as cross pieces.
