Leaf Study 13: Featherlike Figured Maple Leaf

A form drawn from nature, reduced to its essential lines.

This leaf-shaped serving board is crafted from figured maple, shaped with a soft taper and organic asymmetry that echoes natural foliage without becoming literal. The grain follows the movement of the form, shifting as it narrows and opens, giving the surface a quiet sense of direction.

Designed for presentation in open air or on the table, the piece feels equally at home in use or at rest. Its silhouette is uninterrupted—no ornament, only contour, material, and edge.

At 18 x 6 x .8", it carries presence without excess. A functional object shaped by restraint and natural reference.
