***********
The first thing you need to do is cut your circle. I recommend using baltic birch plywood as it absorbs stain much nicer than regular plywood.

My favourite method of making a perfect circle is to use a scrap piece if wood or cardboard and drill a hole at either end, half the diameter of the circle apart. Tac one end and drag your pencil around in the other.

To cut my circle out I clamped it down and used a jig saw to cut it. You could also use a scroll saw or router for this part.

I used my disc sander to smooth out the edges but you could also use regular sand paper or a palm or orbital sander.

I stained it with Classic Grey stain by Minwax and then let it dry.

Next I drew out my letters. I printed mine out, then used carbon paper to trace them on to the plywood, and then used a scroll saw to cut them out.

I gave the edges a quick sand and then painted them.

Once they were dry I used LePage wood glue to adhere them to the circle.
