staining bamboo

[BUCKY]

Has anyone stained bamboo limbs gray? I always see brown and was wondering if gray would take?

[KENDALL TECHAU]

I think it would work. Use Fiebing's Leather Dye.You can get it from Tandy Leather.You might want to try it on a scrap piece first to see if you like the results.

Bob Morrison does it.

Bucky, about any color will take. One of my personal bows is purple, one is tangerine.

What do you have up your sleeve there Bud??? You should see BOO with BROWN glass on top!

I fine-sand the gloss off the boo and use aniline (powdered, water-based) dyes -- usually alternating moss green and mud brown for a nice camo effect -- and they work great. Moss green analine on boo gives a color very like live green boo. dave
