Turning a Chip & Dip Tray from a Maple Bowl Blank

[@CarlJacobson]

Very nice Gordon, great project idea.

[@GordonRock1]

Carl Jacobson Thanks Carl! I appreciate you watching. Actually, I'm surprised you have time to watch videos, as busy as you must be with your own!!!! Happy New Year, Carl.

Really great looking project, Gordon. If you can't find a dip bowl like you want, turn one. It would be far better than one you could buy and it would finish off as a set. Thanks for sharing and happy new year.

[@GordonRock1]

David Clauson Thanks, David. I'd like to use a glass bowl because of the washing involved but now you have me thinking it might be a good idea to make a matching Maple bowl. If it was rinsed properly it should last a long time and I could always make more. Thanks for the idea; I will see what the BOSS says. Thanks again for watching.

[@davidclauson6681]

A good salad bowl finish or the olive oil finish. Wash and reapply a light coat. Should be good for years. Thanks

[@YTcustomchris]

Great Job Gord. I never think of some of the simple things to turn.. that a great Idea

[@GordonRock1]

Custom Chris Thanks, Chris. I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching & commenting.

[@mitchappleby9166]

Looks like it could work for a 'vegie' tray, too. Thanks for the video, I plan on making on in cherry.

[@GordonRock1]

A ‘what’ tray? LOL! Glad you liked it, Mitch. Thanks for watching!

[@mitchappleby9166]

@@GordonRock1 Cut vegetables with sour cream dip in the middle. Real food for the church social. Just cut down a cherry tree 'n itching to make something from the trunk. :o)

[@slindsley1951]

Great project Gordon. The talk of chips and dip has made me hungry. Off to raid the pantry! :-). Take care. Steve

[@GordonRock1]

Steve Lindsley LOL!!! Enjoy Steve. Thanks for watching & commenting. Happy New Year to you.

Very nice piece Gordon. Good luck convincing your wife, it doesn't seem to work in this house. Check with a cooking supply store for that shallower bowl. They sell them for preparing ingredients. Thats where I got my set. Thanks for sharing. Fred

[@GordonRock1]

Fred Graber Thanks for the hint, Fred. I will look at one of those places. Thanks for watching.

[@wakelywanderer12]

In 2021 it’s still a good inspiration. I’ve just started one today. Thanks for the idea.

[@GordonRock1]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@philipberry1150]

Gordon, thanks for sharing this video. You have provided an idea for one of my next projects. Great looking Chip & Dip Tray.

[@GordonRock1]

Philip Berry My pleasure, Philip. Hope you have as much fun turning yours as I did turning mine. Thanks for watching.

[@davidmorgan7522]

Beautiful bowl Gord! Thanks for sharing! Take care, Dave

[@GordonRock1]

David Morgan Thank you, David. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching & commenting.

[@casperscuts2627]

What a great job Gord, thanks for sharing!

[@GordonRock1]

Thank you very much! I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for watching! I appreciate the support. Take care, .....Gord

[@donbomer5630]

I love this idea Gord. I have an 11" round that I planned to use for a tray, but, at less than 2" thick it would otherwise be too thin for a "regular" dip bowl. I believe +David Clauson's idea of a turned bowl insert would be the answer to my dilemma. Thanks for a great video!

[@GordonRock1]

Glad you liked it, Don! Thanks for watching! I really appreciate the support! Take care, .....Gord

[@earlrumble1692]

Hey Gordon you did a great job here. I've turned several of these with great response from the receivers of the gift. I've had some problems with warpage in my last two...I think it was due to the hard knots that were included. No major problem though as it doesn't affect the amount of chips it can hold!

[@GordonRock1]

Earl Rumble Thanks for watching & commenting, Earl. I'm glad you liked it. Yes, the most important thing is the amount of chips it will hold!!!

[@czellner5894]

Very nice project and well explained. Thanks, Charlie

[@GordonRock1]

Cj Zellner Thanks for watching & commenting, Charlie. I appreciate the support. .....Gord

[@MikeWaldt]

A lovely bowl, well turned and explained Gordon. Happy New Year, and take care Mike

[@martinboyle6632]

Great video and project. I have been thinking about making one of those bowls but with making Christmas presents for people I haven't had a chance yet. On the to do list though. Thanks for sharing.

[@GordonRock1]

Mike Waldt Thanks Mike. It was a fun project and the actual product might just be a lot of fun to put to work. Happy New Year, Mike! .....Gord

[@GordonRock1]

Martin Boyle Thanks Martin. I'm glad you liked it. Hope yours turns out well. ......Gord

[@adamquincey4371]

Excellent... Cheers...

[@GordonRock1]

Adam Quincey Thank you, Adam.

[@rickg9242]

Nice tray Gord. I did a smaller one out of a piece of walnut crotch I was given. Not as deep or as large as I would have liked but I haven't found a good wood stretcher yet. Oh and veggies are ok providing they are deep fried or chocolate covered.

[@GordonRock1]

Thanks Rick. I will take mine chocolate covered if it's all the same to you. Could almost eat bark if it's covered in a nice milk chocolate. Take care, .....Gord

[@georgemccombs5070]

I intend to try one soon. Thanks

[@GordonRock1]

George McCombs My pleasure, George. Glad you like it. Thank you for watching & commenting. I appreciate the support

[@kencmain]

veggies - geesh - how silly :-) Nice work and video - thanks for all you do...

[@GordonRock1]

kencmain LOL!! My wife would not like to see this. Thanks for watching & commenting. I appreciate the support.

[@GuitarBeard]

That came out great

[@GordonRock1]

+Evan Lemire Thank you Evan. I'm glad you liked it. .....Gord

[@johnemmett5606]

Nice job, Gordon. I am a novice turner and an wondering about your olive oil finish. Does olive oil need to be reapplied periodically? Does it ever turn rancid like a vegetable oil will? Thanks for sharing your talents. John

[@GordonRock1]

John Emmett Glad you liked it, John. Olive oil needs to be replenished just like any other oil. I've never had a problem with it turning rancid. I've heard of people saying it will but it's always second hand information; always happened to someone else, never to them. Can't guarantee anything, just my own personal experience. .....Gord

[@DKWalser]

Gordon Rock I had olive oil used to finish a cutting board go rancid. For this reason, I prefer a curing oil, such as walnut oil, for use as a finish.

[@GordonRock1]

David Walser This is the first time someone has ever told me it happened to them. Thank you, David, for the input!

[@WhackerJoe]

Great project Gordon. I agree - NO VEGGIES! Have a great 2015 Gordon and thanks for yet another idea.

[@GordonRock1]

Joe Ritz Thanks Joe!! My wife doesn't agree with us; obviously, she doesn't have the finely developed palate that you and I are blessed with!!! Hope 2015 is good to you, Joe.

[@tadersalad1004]

Gord do you make the logo coins yourself?

[@GordonRock1]

+William wolf Hi William, A friend made the logo coins for me quite a few years ago on a CNC machine where he worked. Unfortunately, he no longer works there and I don’t have access to more. I’m not sure where I will get more when I run out of them. Sorry I’m no help in locating them for you! Take care, .....Gord
