Thanks!
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 tha bandsaw for the rough radius, then used a belt sander with a right angle table to smooth them out. I make extensive use of micrometers and digital readouts in my shop; very accurate sizing is the key to getting something like this together without gaps.
How did you make the individual tiles? They all look very uniform in size and shape. Clever use of chamfer bits on a router maybe? Looks very nice.
