How do you make a shape like that with a lathe? Start with a 5x5 block of wood and shave it away until you have a 4.5" circle? You'd still need to slice off a wafer and then cut the shape out (looks like you could get 4 per wafer) and then do the other required shaping on them... or is that the plan?

Pretty close, I would bandsaw it round first, then shape the angle on the face, do the curved part on the outside, slice out the formed wedge, cut the slot and then do any final shaping.
