Perhaps take a handle out to the bandsaw and slice it into "equal" radial cross sections.
The radial arc at the border between the two wood varieties would help in alignment.
Do a loft. :-))

Just laminating the wood must be a lot of work?

Yeah this is the particular area where polygon modeling can be easier with, because subdivision surface modeling basically melts down the polygon cage down in all directions to be smooth. But it's a pretty different modeling method than with MoI - in a sub-d modeler you work with a cage of points in 3D and not with drawing curves like in MoI.

But a sort of all melted-together looking blending tends to come more naturally with that sub-d modeling approach.

I think that this is the photo you asked about.
