"Many people use this type of pattern (larger of course) as a medallion in hardwood floors."
Ed, I was thinking about doing the same thing with this pattern. My house is not lined up with with any specific direction. It would be beautiful to put this pattern in the floor, not far from the front door, and in front of the grandfather clock, now I would know which way I'm looking out the window.
One will have to get creative in turning this piece, because of it's size.

A router and a circle jig works well for doing that sort of thing, like cutting a large circle in the floor.
