    This is a question which I have also asked (sort of).  Alas, not
    one I have answered for myself yet!  I feel it would be possible
    to take a smaller, thick round billet of mokume, and punch
    through the middle.  Then take the resultant "washer" and work
    the inside edge upward, in an axial direction to the plane of
    the washer.  then, perhaps at the same time, work the outer edge
    inward, to form a ring.  Further forge and grind until the ring
    is sized.  Could this possibly work?  I have plans to try this,
    just haven't gotten around to it yet!  Opinions, please!
