About the V-shape on the underside of the leaf: In my mind's eye, I can see how
intersecting a sphere with two cylinders would create that, by itself (I
think)--the two cylinders being larger in diameter than the sphere, with each
one aimed down at maybe 45-deg and from 'opposite sides' of the sphere.
What then does differencing that CSG object from itself do? I'm genuinely
curious. Maybe I'm overlooking an important detail in my mental picture.
