I forgot to mention: when the middle is wrapped, then do each end.

The tape is stretchy and will pull very tight.

Is the veneer already cut so it is the same dimension as the pie slices?

If so, I'd use black plastic tape wrapped four or five times around. Start in
the middle, wrap once, then pull each wrap tighter until the tape breaks on the
last wrap.

Easier to do than it is to describe.

I am working on some vanity legs that are turned from blank made of 8 pie pieces
glued together.  At its fattest, the leg is almost 3” across.

My question - I have the wedge shaped pie pieces cut (with the help of
electrickery) and now I have to glue them together.  The 6” long sample that I
cut demonstrates that this ain’t easy getting al the pieces to point towards the
center so I am worried about the 28” lengths of the full legs.  Does anyone have
a glue-up trick?  I am thinking hose clamps for clamping, but first have to get
all the points in the same place.  I have thought of gluing it half at a time,
then the two halves, but no.

To complicate things, there is a veneer piece between each wedge, so what a mess

Something like this:
