Cutting Circles

Hi all, newbie to the site. I have a question which may seem dumb, but here goes...I am wondering what is the easiest and most accurate way to cut an 11" circle of wood that is 1" thick.

I have tried jig saws, scroll saws and hand saws with a variety of success, none which were totally acceptable.

Please help as my wife does crafts and this piece of wood is for a new project of hers. Thanks very much....Ken

have you thought about spinning a piece of wood at speed to get a perfect circular finish?

Isn't that for plasterboard? Also would mean a hole in the middle of the wood and I can't see how that can cut into 1" thick wood(?)
