Splined tiles, solid mahogany, with radius faces to mimic weaving.

I jointed the stick straight, planed it for thickness and width, used a shaper to chamfer and the side dados. Sled jig with stop to cut to length, then sled jig with shaper for end dados. I built a carousel jig for the bandsaw for the rough radius, then used a belt sander with a right angle table to smooth them out.

Ah, so for the carousel you oriented the tiles vertically on a large circle?

Ya. I think the math worked out to about an 18" disk.
