..... can you descibe the process?

Basically, it is cut in half and glue back together in different orientation as are many of Stephen Hogbin's pieces.

The "process" is described in his book, Hogbin on Woodturning. You can also search back issues of American Woodturner. I believe that there was an article a few years ago on the walking bowl.
 
you have to turn a bowl placed on the tray. Then saw the tray and bowl into two equal parts. The angle of the saw should not be 90 degrees, but 85 or 80 °. This is what triggers the déséquillibre feet. Then glue together the upper face of the bowl.
Thank you for the video which gives an idea of ​​montage.

All is very well explained in the book, just keep his hands in his pockets to avoid the risk of an accident with the propeller.

Trunion boxes are much tricky to turn.
