We are a veggie family.  No, I’m not a vegetarian.  There’s nothing better than a good ribeye, but we eat a lot of raw veggies with dip.  As a result, I make these veggie trays that have much more character than the cheap plastic ones you see in most homes.

I also wanted to use the same board for serving bread with a dipping oil.  SInce the well was sized for store-bought veggie dip containers, I needed to find a bowl that would fit the well.  Now this didn’t seem to be a big deal, but after searching for two months, I couldn’t find one that fit exactly.  Being an Etsy seller, I searched their pottery artists and found a set of three dipping bowls that appeared to be the correct size.  They also looked nice.  Unfortunately, after receiving them, they were just a hair too big.  I  loved the bowls though, and contracted with the artist to make ones custom sized to fit my boards.

Here’s the result.  I think they turned out very nice and really enhance the board.
