Rather than putting it on a big ol block. Start by lag bolting the base to a square pice bigger than the bae by an inch or so. Of course, what do you make the base pieces with? Thickest plywood you can buy maybe. Just add pieces until it feels stable to you. It'll also give you a bit more height. The more obvious question is what are you going to do with it? Stability is not an issue if it is against a wall and can use the wall to secire, etc.
