2. Cut each one lengthwise into slices ¼ inch thick, and trim each slice to the shape of a leaf.
3. With the tip of the knife, cut two shallow grooves down the center of the slice to form the midrib of the leaf.
4. Along the edge, cut wide spaced notches to form the teeth. Then, cut shallow grooves to form the ribs of the leaf, working from the base to the tip.
