Wood Turned Chip and Dip Tray
I had a cherry tray that I had rough turned three years ago. It was ready for its final turning. It had a crack in it and was very warped from the drying process. Fruit wood like cherry tends to move a lot when it dries. I cut the tray in half along the crack and cleaned up the two cut edges. I made an insert piece to take up the space of the crack and give the piece the width it had lost in drying. The pattern I made from the segmented pieces of the insert was equilateral triangles; an abstraction of tortilla chips. I also cut the sides of the insert at an angle to make up for the warping in the tray. I then made a center ring, with the same triangle pattern, to hold a bowl in the center for salsa. I wood turned all of this down to a chip and dip tray.

Wow Frank I can not stop watching your channel I feel like a total failure after watching you work. You make everything look easy which is a truly a sign of how good you really are. I would say your channel for the content and the video work has to rank among the best on you tube. How many hours of editing does it take for you for a 11:52 minute video such as this one. Thank you for sharing you shop and your talent.
Very Cool
wow
Can't get enough of these videos!
fantastic! I love the stop motion, it really adds an entertainment aspect to an already very informative and cool video
great video cutting
That new angle lol
Have to say that you have a really nice design sense Frrank.
What's the salsa recipe?Looks Good!
Great job as always. Derek
Amazzzing
I love how you take damaged pieces and give them new life. Do you ever make bowls to sell?
brilliant love the test lol
Dear Frank, you are an inspiration. Thank you. John
Another great video. Thanks Frank. 🙂
Great idea, I think that you were right, the bowl should set down into the center piece. Thanks for your effort and expertise.
Hi mate. While I like all the bowls that you make, I have been wondering if you have ever thought of filling cracks with some sort of epoxy resin to stabilise the crack , and show it off, after the bowl has been turned as per normal. I always think that the crack is just as much part of the wood and bowl as the wood itself, if you catch my drift.
Nice work, and btw i like the faces you make while working!!!
Thanks for the upload Mr Howarth! As always, a real pleasure to see an artist at work!
you are a true artist! thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work!
i watch so many woodturning/crafting videos as they help me relax but yours just stand out because of the stop motion shots <3 your effort goes a long way and is appreciated
Another beautiful video Frank. Do those glue ups last ? What about scenarios where people are washing the bowls in warm soapy water every so often ?
i love watching your projects make themselves. i need to teach my tools how to do that???.
seriously tho, great vid, i love watching your work
Dam i want some chips, but its 9 in the morning.
Hi Frank, I really like your viedos. What camera do you use

Thanks! for the idea! here is mine… its my 2nd bowl so its not as nice as yours. https://www.instagram.com/p/BKZKIoaAxWJ/
i have a suggestion that might be too late now.. when making the central ring, you could have added spacer blocks to increase the diameter..
so instead of six segments, you could have 12 segments, but 6 segments are angled and 6 are regular box ? shaped
Love this one 🙂
the way you narrate makes it sound like you are trying to figure it out haha
Beautiful, I am totally going to try and make one of these!
Your video editing is as cool as your woodworking, dude.
I would sell a testicle for this shop.
