Bamboo is anything but naturally water resistant. Although it is a plant (called "grass" by some), it will suck water and rot like wood. In most cases, sooner than wood. Having built a number of bamboo fly rods, I'm always looking for a way to make it resistant to water. You have to finish it just like any other wood product.
