If I were doing a production run (4 or more) of what you describe, I would take the time to make circle templates out of MDF. The challenge here is getting the outer circle template to match the inner perfectly.
If I were only doing 3-4, I would use a jig that I made...it's pretty simple. I have a chisel mounted on a stick that attaches to a trammel point. I use a block with either cork or sandpaper adhered to it to keep it from slipping. The trammel point goes into this block...the block is in the center of your project.
Be sure not to use a scalpel. The blade will flex and follow grain...I learned this the first time I tried this....go with a super sharp chisel.
There's many other ways....someone might have another suggestion.
