I'm wondering what the difference between the two is. I like a darker color for limb veneers so I like the looks of the dirty boo, with nodes of course. I guess my question is what makes it dirty?? :bigsmyl:
If anyone would like to post pics of their boo limbs please have at it!
I believe it's a fungus.
I searched for it with no luck recently. Maybe this thread will uncover some for us both.
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
The Orion and all of our bamboo is natural "dirty". We grind our own lams from raw bamboo stock and it's a pain.
Check out he Another Phoenix thread for a pic of the darker bamboo.

the dirty is the stuff at the botom of shipments and stock that get moisture and grow fungus, i belive it acts the same just looks different
Actually it's a type of bamboo. It is sold too us as Tonkin Bamboo and we know the name is incorrect. But that being said, it is a construction bamboo that grows with the color in it. I don't know what causes the color but am sure glad it's there.
90+% of the poles we buy have color throughout, the other 10% have a little.
There is no difference in performance from pc to pc. It all shoots great.

Mold or Fungus.
Thanks folks. I did a bit of searching in the www and really couldn't find a site with pics of some boo, anyone have any sites they can help me with? Thanks!
