No - it's turned. I cut each segment as a trapazoid with 15 degree
angles. These are then glued up into a ring. I run that through the
drum sander to to clean up the top & bottom so that they are nice and
flat. I then glue one ring to the next, one on top of the other in
ascending size. When they're all glued up nicely I put it on the lathe
and do the turning.

I'll post some mid-construction shots to give an idea of the process...
