I am now down to the last couple of steps on a commission I'm working on. During the week I finished making 11 leaves so that I had a choice when I came to install the leaves. The 11 completed leaves are above on the grinding and polishing bench.
Installing the leaves required me to make small adjustments like reducing the length of some of the stems; and in two cases reducing the length of leaves by 2-3mm.

I held the leaves in place with small wedges made from craft paddle pop sticks. The glue took about 30 minutes to cure. But I left the wedges in place overnight.

The final outcome looks professional and beautiful.
