These are some partially developed repousse
leaves. A white paper pattern is underneath the
small leaf on the right. That pattern is
developed into the leaves on the right using a
number of specially shaped hammers and
stakes.

The design of the rail called for two types of
repousse leaves. A number of special hammers
and forming stakes were made. Here are some
water-leaves and the tools used for making them.
Due to the slant in the railing all of the parts
come in two different curves depending on their
orientation.
