That said, I'd find a long, large diameter insert endmill to do the roughing...One way to greatly simplify and speed-up fabrication would be to split the part vertically into two pieces that bolt together.
If you're gonna do it that way Ray, why not make it out of 6 pieces and weld it together.
Too funny!
A swing and a miss...
