I cut three 11 inch rings (3/4 inch thick) and glued them on top of each other.  Sanded them flush with each other.  Drew the designs INSIDE of the ring and cut.  A little tricky since I had to rotate the ring as I cut.

Brilliant idea, I was wondering how you did it but forgot to ask.
Learned something new. You are really inventive.

Very nice job!! Thanks for showing how you cut the designs in the circumference. Very clever, I would have never thought of that and I doubt that I could do it on my De Walt saw anyway.
Size wise You got me beat by a full inch on height. I made a pitcher out of "Old growth Plywood" a few years ago that is only 12" tall...
