Just drew a pattern of a 15” star on paper. Drew another star inside of it 1” smaller which gives a 1/2” wall thickness. Continued till the last star was about 4”. Glued pattern to a 1” thick walnut board. Cut all stars on 22 1/2* angle (I think) then stacked the “rings” one on top another. Thats about as simple as I can explain the built.
Love it! Your description of your method sounds very similar in concept to the more common "bowl from a board" method --- only those are usually just round.
Gale's Law: The bigger the woodworking project, the less the mistakes show in any photo taken far enough away to show the entire project!
Soooo, how did you get rid of the ridges of the "rings"? Chisel(s)? Hand sanding?
Again, very nicely done!

I put Minwax polycrylic water base on it. If I had it to do over I would’ve used tung oil. What I know about woodworking or finishes you could write on a match pack with a 2” paint brush.
I absolutely love this bowl! I fell in love with it when I saw it here and even registered here .
It's will be beautiful on my kitchen counter filled with fruit, I can see myself filling it with decorations for the holidays later.
The color of the wood is beautiful!
