This shallow bowl is part of an experiment to make a pie segmented piece that would stay together in the middle. The blank was started in October of 2021 by first cutting a 1" thick board into 8 pie segments and gluing in stages till I had a complete circle. The blank was then sliced into 3 pieces and glued back together with the joints staggered. The blank was stored in my heated shop until March when I turned this bowl. The center has 2 layers that have been thinned from the top and the bottom and so far it looks like it may work..
