Lenny I am not much of a wood guy but a question or 2 comes to mind once you cut your circles that you are going to start with How are you going to make sure that the inside holes all line up perfect. You might want to consider using a template of some type for all of the rings. Another idea I would have is if you wanted to make it square you could cut a bunch of squares how ever large you need and then if you have a drill press it would be easy to set your fence and all that so they would all come out perfectly lined up. And for visual appeal You could consider some thing like diferant hard woods that have different colors to them. Then you could stack them one light and one dark.and it would have some what of a flag appearance Remember now I am not a credible resource for wood working. These are just some ideas rolling around in my head Good luck.

I got the idea from an acrylic iceless one that I have. When you place a cold bottle in it keeps it cold for quite a while. I also read about some stainless steel double walled ones. I am wondering if wood would be enough of an insulator? The construction technique would be to cut about 10 or 11 circles. Then cut another hole in the center of all but one. Then stack and glue the rings to the one full sized circle. I would then take the remaining circles of wood to make coasters. I would take one square block and glue in a rod and place the coasters over the rod for storage. That is the basic construction. Any thoughts? Would this work for an insulator?
