Mariners Compass - top level shapes - LB layout
Mariners Compass – top level shapes – LB layout

Applying increasing insets to that top level produces a beveled result:

Layered Paper - Mariners Compass - offsets - detail
Layered Paper – Mariners Compass – offsets – detail

Layered Paper - Mariners Compass - offsets
Layered Paper – Mariners Compass – offsets

It’s made from random sketch paper, rather than cardstock, and we all know how much the paper matters.
