Wood Turning Large Tumbling Block Bowl Escher Style

I turn a tumbling block bowl or maybe it is a platter using Walnut, Maple and Cherry.
I try to show my step by step method to cut and glue up the blank.
This creates a very interesting illusion. It gives many looks, including a stair step.
The process for gluing it together is time consuming but spread over a number of days it was not bad. The pieces all fit in place with only a few needing a slight adjustment.
There were 240 pieces used to make 80 blocks plus a few dozen more to fill in areas around the outside.
Finishes used:
Minwax sanding sealer and Polycyrlic
Acks Abrasive Paste and Polish/Restoring Paste
Tools used:
Bowl gouges and negative rake scrapers.
