That would be awesome.  Will you be able to get dimensions?  This will help alot, thanks!

Pat B:
I cut my grove with a table saw set on 45deg and cut from both ends to make the "V". The shaft material sits in the groove but is above the surface of the board.     With square stock you remove the 4 corners, then the 8 corners then the 16. After that you can sand it smooth.   Go with the grain and take one pass and go the the next corner and so on until you achieve the diameter you want. You can make a gauge with a block of wood and various holes of different diameters to size the shafts.

Lombard:
I did mine similarly to how Pat describes. Put two groves in it though, one shallow the other a little deeper.

Hillbilly:
I use a piece of wood with 5/16", 11/32", and 23/64" holes drilled in it for a sizing gauge. Helps to get them sized right.

mullet:
 Got a chance to take pictures, here's mine. It's made to reduce square stock and then Barrel taper. And, it'll be up for a trade,too.
