If you can plan ahead, knowing where it will be turned down....

Use some small brads, drive through the veneer and then clip them off, 
leaving just an eighth proud.
These will prevent sliding while clamping with straps, ropes, tape, 
whatever....

Subject: [OldTools] Octagon

GGG

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:
