O.k. guys I'm not overly pushy about it but I usually chime in on the Kodiak hunter posts, although not hugely popular they're my personal favorite, ANYWAY, do any of you have a greenie model that didn't totally take the green dye? I have seen a very few retain their natural wood color mixed with the green color in the riser and think they're cool looking, any other model of the greenie(grizzly etc. I know they came in a green/black riser) or non natural-wood colors (blues etc.)would also be nice to see if you have one.THANKS, in advance.I don't have one but figured this is the biggest pond to fish in to see the most examples considering the amount of serious collectors that are here.

Didn't think about this when I was posting but any make or model would be cool to see, show me your "cosmetic defect" bows I think they're loaded with character.

Its called sap wood. Sometimes that dye just did get soaked up into the wood. A buddy of mine (Raineman) told me it was because of the sap content of that section of wood. I guess the wood was already saturated with sap and, hence, couldnt soak up the dye as well.

jrbows- I too have a love for the greenies. Not sure why I'm just drawn to them. I have one now that is that way. Not nearly as extensive as Jacks pic but enough to notice. Don't have any good pics at work now but I'll see if I can take some tonight.

Here is my favorite part of the bow though. I don't know how well you can see it but the dye in the blue stripe didn't totally take. It fades from the blue at the bottom into a brown and back to blue. Wish I had better pics because it looks way cooler. http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z436/tuscarawasbowman/BearKodiakHunter007.jpg
