    Default Maple leaf outline

    I will be starting a project soon but I had hoped someone on the forum may have an outline of a maple leaf which could be enlarged to 2 feet or larger. The project is cutting out a maple leaf and placing it at the gable end of my barn.

    Thanks in advance.

    You need some type of projector to project the image onto your surface.

    I traced a regular size leaf on card board, cut it out. Pinned it to a thin piece of wood and added a light over it pointing to the floor. By adjusting the distance the leaf and light were from each other and the floor I was able to get the shadow the size I wanted on a sheet of plywood. I traced the outline onto the plywood and cut it out to use as the start to my concrete form.
