If I lop off 20" off of the end, what will I have?

A shorter piece.

Technically, two shorter pieces.

And one of them will likely be an acceptable, quick and dirty work table
top.

I built mine from laminating three layers of good grade plywood. By making
the top 32" wide, I got three layers from two sheets.

While it's not the fanciest in the land, it was an excellent starting
place, sturdy, and I knew what I had. Prior to that, my assembly table was
a hollow core door, pulled out during a remodel.
