Welcome to the forum Sawdust

Can you draw a sketch with ms paint and post it here so we can get a better understanding of what you want to do?

Hey sawdust,

Do you want straight cuts between these points or curved ones?

Sawdust,

Here's the board laid out to your dimensions with straight cuts between all the points but it doesn't exactly produce the shape you drew. I have all the points you referenced Locked in place with attachments. If you're looking for curved lines rather than straight ones between all the points, you can right click on each line and choose "Form/Arc" from the menu and then pull the center points to the curves you want.
