Name of a certain technique–concentric circle sawing with a slight bevel

I know of a certain technique to save expensive wood when turning for a bowl or dish.
It is to use a scroll saw or jig saw to cut concentric circles at a slight bevel to create a blank before turning. The angle of the bevel and the kerf width of the blade will decide how steep or shallow the blank will be.
What is this procedure called? I want to search for video on insight into this. What is the best way to hide the drill holes etc.
Thank You

Stacked ring lamination.
Thank You.

Actually what you cited is something new and possibly useful to me.
What I had originally in mind is something similar but not the same. If you cut with a small bevel, say 5 degrees, and if the wood is thick enough and the kerf of the blade is narrow enough ( a combination of bevel angle, wood thickness, and blade kerf), there will be a slip and the smaller ring will not drop. The gluing surfaces will be the sides of the rings, not their tops.
Again you post a question and then pontificate. I'm out.
I thank you for pointing out stack ring lamination, but I was merely pointing out a somewhat different approach as exchange of ideas and knowledge.
I see nothing wrong.
I've heard it called an "economy bowl"
Thanks
I found out it is also known as insular ring side lamination.
