Probably to darken the siding planks on the bar with stain which would bring out the bamboo... You can get a LOT of ideas for how to juxtapose and contrast different colors and textures on this site and, if you don't yet have them, the Book of Tiki; Tiki Modern; and Tiki Style, all by Sven Kirsten. It's a good investment.

Glad for you that you found some stuff on ebay. The more you hunt, the more you'll find.

Enjoy!
