The delightful piece is a hand turned wooden pie beautifully crafted from solid poplar. It measures 11" wide x 3 1/2" tall and is cut into 12 wedges with a groove at the top to hold recipe or name cards. Jerry and I keep the whole pie and use the slices to hold a name card at the table and then display the whole piece as an ornamental touch on our dining room hutch. Of course it was perfect for 4 & 20 blackbirds and adds a touch of whimsey to our holiday table.
