This is a swell concept. I'll bet that if you did this with 2 different woods
and a paper-split turning, you would not have to cut the pieces apart, just
split them and then clean up the joint before re-gluing.

No cutting the parts apart required. The use of a "paper glue joint" -
glue on both faces to be joined with a piece of newspaper between them,
also with some glue on it, creates a plane at the joint that holds for
turning - but can be opened up by starting with a ultility knife to
begin opening the joint, then using a kitchen knife to open the joint of
completely. Leaves a little paper on each joint face that's easy to
sand off.

Thanks. That's what I was trying to say, just did not explain what I meant.
The biggest trick, then, is getting the symmetry just right, so that when the
parts are reassembled 90 degrees apart, they still match up well. Maybe a
little adjusting the fit-up with some sandpaper?
