Great job.  When we first started staining boo to look like fancy wood I used a cotton ball and stain mixed in Denatured alcohol...you could apply it with a cotton ball...let it dry some... and then dab it with a wet cotton ball and actually lift some of the color creating a highlighted effect...I did a little BBO like that maybe 10 years ago at mojam and then JD (horseapple) perfected it with rubber gloves and his index finger...mine looked like a burl and his looked tiger striped... it's all good and looks much better than bamboo...it's also easy and fun and you can just keep playing with it until you like it IF you are using something like an alcohol based stain...
