Thanks for the encouragement bogiesan!
I'm aware my design is neither the ideal for structural or traditional reasons, but I'm looking to experiment with the visual representation of the game. I have a sturdy, more plain board already so it is not a project of productive necessity. If the result has structural problems I will find a way to fix them and I'm not bothered if it ends up looking bodgy. My goal, beyond just keeping my lonesome-self busy, is to gain much needed hands-on experience and see if there is any aesthetic validity to my mental image.
The plan for grid application is to use the glue lines as the grid. So one block per grid rectangle, each with minutely chamfered edges and adhered using a darkened PVA glue.
The cuts in the video were not that precise. I chose the pull saw primarily for its reduced kerf and thus presumably reduced dust count. I work in my bedroom so dust is of paramount concern. I plan to do the final edges with a pair of gent saws and small miter boxes.
Bowls seem difficult without a lathe. Thankfully I have some commercial bowls that I am quite happy with.

I love mine but cannot make a precision cut with either model.
Have you made a go set before?
