Traditional Piecrust was always carved in the solid, never applied.
I'm not sure it could be applied, in fact. Basically, the top is
turned, dishing out the center, and turning a molding on the edge. The
edge molding is then carved, leaving some of the turned portion, and
hand-carving the rest.

You could use a router as well, using a variety of jigs. It's still
alot of handwork, though.

Eugene Landon had a nice article on carving pie crust edges in Fine
Woodworking, back in 1987, I think. I believe it was the cover
photograph, in fact.

And if he meant a "scalloped" edge, well, that takes *mussels*, too.

Yea...it has brought a chuckle or two. I learned to
put the edge on the piecrust with my fingers...I use a fork
to punch holes in the crust to keep it from puffing up.

And, although I can't bring the exact issues to mind, I am
pretty sure that American Woodworker (a few years ago) and (I
think...) Fine Woodworking have had articles on carving this edge.
If one has a lathe big enough to turn the table top, it is
pretty easy to get the basic form done. One can also use a router
to hog out the depressed center. I have not taken on that
project, yet, but, I think about it every so often. Actually,
if truth be known, when that happens, I usually take a couple of
Aspirin and lay down for a minute, and the feeling goes away.

Not online, but the book "Woodcarving, the Beginners Guide" by Wheeler and
Hayward (ISBN 0-8069-8790-1) has an entire chapter (12) devoted to pie-crust
edges. Basically, the interior of the top is turned flat, leaving the
molding on the edge to be carved from the reminder. Real pie-crust edges
are not applied, they are carved in place...

Joe, you could use a router to remove the inside waste since I doubt you
have the capability to turn a 36" dia top. At some point most of the inside
will be removed so you'll need a spacer the same thickness as the removed
portion for your router to rest on. Use a router would be easy to ensure a
uniform amount of wood is removed across the top.

Finally!!!!

Thanks Michael.

I was assuming they were applied since I've seen some rather large pieces
(36" across) that had that detail and I don't know how the center portion
could be turned. Now, power carved, that may work....


Thanks guys, that was fun.

Got a good router? You can make your own fork! Or you can
get a deal on ebay and take the rust off yourself!

My mom never used a folk - she neandered her pie crusts with her
fingers around the edge.

Now that I think of it, Mom did finger pinch the crusts.

She used a fork to distress the top and bottoms.
