Here is how I got to this point since the last post. I glued every other wheel section to it's mate using the wooden splines, leaving me with four sections. When dry I used a 3/16 drill to bore through where the sections were connected and through the splines and then glued dowels into each hole.
If you look closely at the above pictures you will see the dowels are obvious at every other section, two on each side of the connection. I then used the band saw to cut the roundness into each section and sanded the inside rim. Then I turned the spokes - four of one shape and four of another. When all was ready I glued the spokes into the hub and, one by one, glued each wheel section to the corresponding spokes, and secured all of the wheel sections to each other by gluing them together with the remaining wooden splines. I then "clamped" it all together using the ratchet strap as you can see in the pictures. When this is dry I'll add dowels to newly glued sections as I did for the others.
Next I will need to build some sort of special lathe to turn the wheel on so I can clean up the sides and rim to make sure that it runs true.
