Hi Thomas,
I like the beech leaf.

The manner in which you're constructing your leaf reminded me of two project
that I worked on many years ago.

And wouldn't you know it: YOU are the guy who provided me with the method to
make my propeller!  :D  So I've known of, and benefited from your work since
2014.

Have you considered using a prism to get a solid object with a "custom" outline?
You could also possibly use mesh/mesh2 with an inside vector.  Make the top
surface of the leaf, replicate that with an offset, and then fill in the sides.
to make a "box" for each section of your leaf.
