The first picture is whats finished there will be 4 more rings. The last ring will be 2 inches bigger around than the others.
The second shows how the rings were made with pocket screws.

Cool project, I have seen a few made out of timbers for your yard also. Pocket screw placement looks strange, how were they made?
