Day 15: Prototype 1a

I intended to finish and do final assembly on my latest batch of 20 seam rippers but instead ended up turning a small prototype of the pie I sketched 3 days ago.  I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Walnut bowl and rim with Basswood strips forming the "crust".

It's small, just over 4" diameter but it's a proof of concept that I think can be scaled up pretty easily. 

No finish at this point, the strips are still a bit damp from the water I used to make them pliable enough to weave fairly easily.
