I remember a device that let the user start with a flat board and then =
create a series of rings that were stacked and glued to form a bowl.
Does any one have any information? Do they still make the tool?

It makes damned ugly bowls. Unless you have the nerve to not slice on
every ring, and to still waste half your timber, you have to make
bowls that are simple cones at the jigs angle. If you use two boards
and cut every other spacing, you can make a thicker walled blank and
still turn a reasonable shape into them.
There's another timber-saver gadget like this, but it works on
semi-circles. Rather nicer effect, but it's a bit harder to use.
No-one really _needs_ more wooden bowls. Their only justification is
if they're _good_ wooden bowls. Don't waste your life on the nasty
ones.

You can do that with a scroll saw though I'm sure your looking for something
more automated.

I think it was some kind of ring cutter-- Cut rings at an angle so you
could then glue them together & turn a bowl. I did the same thing by
cutting rings from a board on the lathe. I started out using a 45 deg
angle with a parting tool. & messed around from there. It works quite
well. check on rec.crafts.woodturning for more info-- or post there

If you want a cone-shaped bowl, then ok-- Don't know if the ring
master is still around. If you want a cylinder shaped bowl, then use
your TS to cut staves- 22 1/2 deg for 8 , 11.25 deg for 16 segments--
1" stave width works for me for thicker walled or ornate turnings, you
will have to use thicker lumber than 3/4" if you use this method
I think what you're looking for is called a Ring Master. Another poster
said something about "damned ugly bowls", and IMHO it applies to what this
jig produces..
There are other ways to make better looking bowls, even for a beginner.
