And then there were two

It’s interesting how end grains work out. You can see the in the photo below, top one I couldn’t get the end grains to match up very well. The bottom one almost looks book matched…almost.

But when you compare the backs, the one with the sort of book matched end grain doesn’t look as good on the seam as the one without the matching end grain.

Here’s the one with the poorly matched end grain

And the one with the better match

And a couple more gratuitous photos

Both have good looking curl in the tops. These should look great with some tint and clear.

Speaking of tint still looking for color ideas…anyone?
