Hello all,

I just joined the list, and I wanted to say hello to anybody who was
listening.

Now that's over with, can anybody give me some advice on doing a maple or
oak leaf? I assume they're the same in principle, but I am uncertain how I
should set up the piece of stock to get the right shape. Should I bend a
piece of 1/4" in the shape of the leaf and then pound it out, or should I
split the end of a larger piece of steel? I am a relative novice, but I've
done other, simpler leaves before (morning glory leaves, ginko leaves, etc),
so I'm not COMPLETELY clueless. I think.

Thanks in advance.
