96. Butcher. and 97. Baker. This weekend's pair came about as I was simply considering what two-leap combinations hadn't been done yet (that I'm aware of). I don't know why these particular names came to my mind for them, but here they are.
The Butcher combines the moves of the Camel and Dabbabah. (DC)
Perhaps I was thinking of the people over in the city of Washington... though this was before the current leadership crisis. Anyway, the physical piece was a simple matter.
The Baker (as you've probably already guessed) is the Butcher's rotary companion, and combines the moves of the Alfil and Zebra (AZ).
For the physical design, all I could think of was trying to simulate an open flame.
I'm not sure I succeeded (especially since a lower ring refused to render), but it's definitely visually distinctive.
