Yeah, those are really cool. My wife does sculptures in concrete, and I showed her these pics. She was pretty impressed.

told me quikrete, but I mentioned fiber, etc. could make some really cool ones, this had to be tough, the leaves are real "hairy" in texture and sticky with oils

Did these with quikrete, but then have to seive the stones out. Next time I'm getting mortar mix. I used drywall mesh to strengthen the concrete and help it from cracking. I tried doing the rests right on the ends, but once I started spreading the concrete, the leaf walked a little off the sand form. I will try to post a pic of Tuck and Chazz's so you can see what they look like from other kind of leaves.

I think they are awesome, and the one you did for the koi pool water catch from the elephant ear was sharp.

Something you do because you enjoy it, I would like to try and make a good re-usable mold of one of those real large connie leaves.

I'm gonna try and start some plants and send them around, if not for $20, maybe less, you can order from new hope seeds and you get 4 plants at the perfect time to be planted, in the mail, that's what I did, but have kept many seeds, and will give out some after they've dried and I can gather the pods/seeds.

yezzir, couldn't resist and slipped one out of the cello to sniff the end and got that cocoa smell, yum, I hope it smokes as well,

got a feeling it will.

I've got a 5'er sampler, but I've yet to open and smoke one, I don't think they are the same, need to check.

here's the list of all the extras with the sweet ashtray

I mistook that for a real tobacco leaf and found myself asking, "Wasn't this supposed to be about an ashtray?" and ten seconds later thought, "Oh!..." Good job, that looks awesome!

almost too cool to use, glad you and C3 got one.......I won a Torano ashtray last night at a local cigar event.......well the lady that won it gave it to me, LOL.......I rarely use one, but will use that one instead.

It's always a conversation piece.
