russ,

the outer ring surfaces could be modelled using surfaces of cones. There is a total of 4 cone surfaces that make this up:

* the upper outer ring surface is the bottom of a solid cone pointing upwards

* the upper inner ring surface is the top of an empty cone (i.e., the space left by a solid cone) pointing downwards

* the 2 bottom surfaces are symmetric with the corresponding upper surfaces

i hope this helps ...
