Photobucket won't let Me copy pics. right now for some reason.
I have 3 bows with bamboo limbs.
One is natural. ( no help )
A Tomahawk SS that is naturally dirty I think, it has some streaks that are darker with no real pattern.
And a Dryad Orion that is stained to give it the dirty look for 3/4 the length of the limb. Which looks very good.
All 3 bows still show the nodes of the bamboo and all look good. I think I personally like the Dryad best because it is very even compared to the Tomahawk.
I'll try the pictures again later.

Thanks for correcting Me Mike, I was going from looks only. Sorry
