Vintage West Coast Lathe-Turned Chip & Dip Tray - 1960s

Hand-turned on a lathe by a West Coast woodworker in the 1960s, this solid-wood chip-and-dip tray shows the classic center mounting mark on the underside — the telltale sign of true lathe craftsmanship from the era. Signed simply “BJ”, which fits the period’s small-shop artisan style. Beautiful hand-painted floral detailing, rope-edge carving, and that natural glow older wood gets when it’s been cared for over decades. It’s got honest vintage wear — nothing structural, just the kind of lived-in patina that makes these folk-art pieces desirable. A functional serving piece and a collectible bit of mid-century West Coast woodworking.
