It's 9.5" / we 5 cm in diameter. The pattern of maple leaves is burned into the wood.

How did you delimit the leaf pattern so evenly around the circumference of the brim of the bowl? Did you use a rotary indexer and a wood burning jig?

Yes, my lathe has a built in indexer.

Very nice!

From top down, I imagined it as thin as a paper plate. ๐Ÿ˜„ Then I saw the side shots.

How did you space out the leaves? I would be paranoid that I'd screw up the spacing.

My lathe has an indexer built in. I can make paper thin bowls, but they tend to be fragile. It's impressive but not practical.
