I whipped one up and made some maple floating tenons from scrap.

Added some dowels between the tenons and glued it up between a couple of bow clamps. Cross cut the ends on a sliding table saw.

Filled Any Cracks.

Used a mixture of wood glue, sanding dust and water. Then added some cross braces on the bottom to help ensure it stays flat.
