Wormy spalted chip & dip bowl

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Made this Spalted Silver Maple with some bug holes in it, into a chip and dip bowl, measures 13" across and about 5" high, We have used it a while and I thought to show it here :D.
Any/all comments are welcomed :)

Leo - that is just outstanding! Love all the defects in the wood and all the spalting! Seriously nice work! Looking forward to your next post!

Wow! I really like that! Do you mind if I try out your design?

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Hi Bonnie, thanks for the reply, I wouldn't show my pieces if I was afraid of people taking from it what they like :).
You know,
When I came into this world, the canvas was blank, and from that point on I have seen all kinds of shapes and forms, and the minds eye has combined those forms to whatever I make, draw, cut or paint, so in my opinion I and everyone else are taking from what came before :eek:.
Nothing really new under the sun, it has all been done before I'm sure, so go ahead and see what you can produce :D:D.

Thanks Leo :) Just thought I should ask first.

That chip and dip tray is wonderful, Leo. I love pieces that have a function as well as looking great. Thanks for showing.
