"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness..." Charles Dickens. 

 

A couple of pecan bowls from either half of the same log.  One half of the log had a bit of a burl formation.  I found it interesting to see how different the grain patterns were.  So much for a book-matched set...:BangingHead: 

 

Both of these were soaked in soapy water and allowed to air dry to about 13%.  Sanded to 800.  Finished with General Wood Bowl finish followed by beeswax friction polish.
