I would do 6 layers...stak three then dowel, add a cake board 1 inch smaller and add the other three. Place the whole thing on a 1/2 inch thick cake drum or foamcore board, then sharpen a dowel and drive it all the way down through all siz layer and into the bottom board...it will hold fine!
: I always made that 4 two inch layers with support after the first 2. I used a foil-covered cardboard and drinking straws. The only thing to watch is that its sort of top heavy because they are tall and same sizes. Tilting just a little and it could topple.
