Default Re: New contest - borders

This border came to mind as I was looking at one of the plants in my shop. I have no idea what it is called, but it has these neat leaves so I used them for this border. The space between leaves is 1/4", and the lines are 3/16" apart. I start with the sweep line which is the third line from the left in the picture. I than cut the the leaf on each side of this line, Next remove the material between the leaves, and cut a trace line on each side of the leaf.his gives the leaf more depth, and finally make a short plunge cut at the beginnig of each leaf. You can add shade lines if you want more depth in the leaf.
