i got these, along w/ some other bowls off an ebay auction. These were very artfully carved into boat-like bowls. I'm not sure what kind of woods were used, but one is definitely much darker and harder than the others. although all are made of very hard wood. i polished them w/ a beeswax wood conditioner/polish.

Very nice looking set of bowls. Hard to tell from a picture but the lighter color ones could be from the sycamore family which includes woods like London Plane turning wood. Different types of sycamore grow in different countries. The darker one I would guess cocobolo looking at the very bottom of the inside and also the outside.
i think that the lighter ones are made of olive. the darker one does look like cocobolo or possibly one of the other extremely hard woods. these are really finely done and i like them more and more. there is a trace of a signature along w/ some numbers carved into the bottom of a couple of them. very tiny though.
