Turner 52 the circles were cut out first with a hole saw on the drill press then a jig was made for each size and the center was drilled out. then the glue up was done one section at a time then the rings were turned down to 1/4" thick and the next row was started and so on.

Bruce, you are amazing!  Has anyone ever accused you of thinking "inside" the box?

Wow!

Excellent execution of a fun concept.

My carbide turnings always seem to have fuzzies on one edge.
