I made the inner strip thin and made the next ones a little thicker as I added each one,  I started with  about 3/16th maple then

redwood a littile thicker and ended with the lip strips at almost 1/4 inch  I figured the inner strips were a tighter radius so I made them thinner.  I soaked them one at a time with water and used a heat gun on them and clamped them every 2 to 3 inches, worked very slow.

I heated and bent each one in place with out glue then took  the clamps off after a while and did it all over again with the tite bond glue each ring took a day
