And how do you sharpen your petal lifter? By stropping them? :dunno:

Pretty much just like you sharpen a knife, progressively finer grit stones, then strop to a mirror finish.

You know Clay, I have always been amazed at your lifted leaves. Personally, I think yours blow Jeff's away.

I don't know what to say to that. Thanks Shawn. :blush:

I have step by step pictures of carving an oak leaf the way I do them someplace. I'll have to try and get them posted on here sometime.

Clay- the close-ups look really neat. Did you use a hair blade on the leaves or is that the lines from a vertical thumbprint/pear shader?

Guess I've never looked at MY leaves under a magnifying glass!
