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.
