Leaves are the masterpieces of the natural world. Their beauty lies in their myriad forms, their uniqueness – each and every one a tree’s figurative fingerprint – and in the spectacle of their various transformations: from little bitty buds to gorgeous green growths in spring and then again in autumn, when their chlorophyll fades to reveal brilliant reds, oranges, golds and browns.
If there’s a more profound reminder of nature's artistry, we at Wavecrest Woodcraft would love to see it – and then immediately make our own layered approximation of it!
How It’s Made
Our leaves are composed of carefully paired layers of high quality 3mm ply, variously veneered with birch, bubinga and walnut, amongst other hardwoods, before being scored, engraved and cut to size.
These bare layers are then painted with watercolours and / or dyed with a variety of inks and stains before finish is applied and assembly occurs. Last but not least, the final assembly is fitted and fixed into a 25x25cm shadow box frame. These come in three shades: black, white and grey.
Every Piece Unique
Please note that no two of our leaves are the same! As a consequence of the distinctive grain patterns of the hardwood veneers we adhere to our sustainably sourced substrates, as well as our in-house painter’s artistic inclinations, every piece we produce is completely unique: a one-of-a-kind work of art with a depth and complexity certain to catch the eyes of passers-by.
The piece you see here is just one of The Leaves we have available for sale. It is engraved with an accented quote from an unknown source which reads: “It’s ordinary to love the beautiful. It’s beautiful to love the ordinary.”
You can see the other Leaves we have in stock here.
Create Your Own
If none of The Leaves we have in stock are quite right for you or your space, don’t worry – we get it. That’s why we’re happy to offer you the option to Create Your Own. Your options include:
a selection of hardwood veneers
up to three colours of your choice
your choice of black, white or grey frames
the engraving of a custom phrase
Simply add The Leaf (Create Your Own) to your cart and complete the form that pops up when checking out to provide the additional details we’ll need to start work on your own personalised Feather.
Production on these pieces can take up to 10 days, but please be patient – we promise to make sure your custom version of The Leaf is worth the wait.
