Check out the topic "Turned Greek Aspis in Progress". It has sunk to page 8 in the Greek Military History and Archaeology forum (this one). It has lots of pictures to help you. The lathe is horizontal, but the chucks and attachments would be the same. 2X4's won't give you enough depth to work with. I used rough cut 2x6's planed down before the glue steps. Good luck!
