If the bottom of the bowl is thin, yes, a block should be glued to the
blank and the faceplate attached to the block.  You can use ordinary
yellow carpenters glue.  Put some glue on the blank; then a sheet of
brown paper like a grocery sack; then glue on the block and clamp.
Easiest way to clamp is put the glue up on the drill press (no bit in
the drill) and run the table up to press it together.  Let it dry for a
day, if you can.
