You could always do this like I would have done if still in an engineering machine shop.
I would have done it on a vertical milling machine with the piece held in a dividing head and ground your own cutter to produce the section.
Grinding your own cutter would be hit and miss unless you had access to a cutter grinding machine but with wood you would only really need one flute of the cutter ground to the profile and grind away all the others.
I've done this many times by grinding away every other tooth on a woodruff cutter then grinding the alternative teeth to the desired profile.

Oh for a Bridgeport mill in my garage
