I met a guy at the local hardware store a few yrs ago and we have a lot of common interests and chat a lot.One day he asks how big Baccy leaf gets and I tell him and asks if I have one to spare. So I let him pick some leafs I knew what he was doing with it and have seen some of his work in person. He has to make a mold of it first then make them. He does all kinds of leaf. From candy dishes to Bird Bathes which this is but my wife wants to use for a center piece on the table to hold fruit WTF.Colors are off a little but it looks nice I think. It was free also for supplying the leaf. His next one is for his bathroom sink bowl he makes.

That is pretty neat, is he casting them with aluminum, or ? what material is it?

Lightweight concrete, it is freaking heavy. He was using peat moss and vermiculite And concrete but it took two weeks to cure.

That would be a good idea for an ashtray.
