Default screws in cutting board

Do you see any problem putting decking type screws between slats when making a cutting board. This would be done to help hold it together while glueing and for added strength and resistance to bowing. I seem to have trouble when I just clamp everything. It gets bowed. my plan would be to pre drill holes and screw together 4 slats at a time (and also glue). Then I would attach these sub assembles and glue them together somehow. Maybe inserting dowels for extra strength. Just been thinking. I am using maple.
