Hi Stephen - thanks for the video. Excellent; apart from your intention, the subject matter, it shows your obvious love of wood. Up to now I was planning to cut the wood blank as a whole into one long stick of blocks/tentellones/peones and saw them off like tiles for a rosette. Your method is nice in that it's just you, the rectangle of wood, a sharp chisel and, in my case lots of blood over the workbench. Quite meditative in terms of its repetition. Like Mishima's Martydom of Saint Sebastian. In your last post you confirm what I was worrying about - that it's better to glue flat surfaces as opposed to variegated grain boundaries. Unfortunately, the blanks I have have been cut so precisely I can't expose enough flat surface. As it seems there is no well known justification for using either way, I'll just do it as I can. I think to make sure the joint is good enough I'll nail them in too. Seriously, thanks for your input.
