Yes, I used 2x4's and then "skinned" it with oak and 1/4" oak plywood. Here's an example of one of the pocket screw applications. The pocket screws are on the outside, but the pocket is in the vertical support and connects to the horizontal member, while screws also go through the horizontal member into the front to back middle support.
This photo shows some of the overall construction, including my triple 2x4 corners. The over-construction of the corners should, I believe, greatly lessen any twisting potential, whereas the central downward supports are more limited in the strength side to side.
I don't know if any of that is actually helpful for this particular stand, but there it is anyway.
FWIW, If I were to buy the Kreg Jig again, I'd have bought the 2 hole version. Clamping the 1 hole version in place was always a bit too tricky for my tastes. It was great for joining the mitered frames of my stand doors though.
