ActionWood vs DymondWood

[Hill Hunter]

I have a Jordon Stalker I got about 2 months ago with a camo Dymond wood riser and camo actonwood limbs, I love the feel of it and it shoots great.

I saw a pic of the burgendy or rosewood diamond wood and then a grey riser. Couldn't stand it so I ordered the two colors from Binghams and am going to build a bow with the combination. I'll let you know what I think of it when I get the bow done. I've never built with any of those laminated woods before. I understand that what Binghams has is built with yellow birch which is much stronger than the white or paper birch. I honestly do not know who supplies which kind of birch.

i've used 4 risers blocks, 2 split, the other 2 came out fine. The one that split, split perfectly right down a joint. I spread the joint apart, shoved smoothon down in the crack, clamped real good and bingo. the other cracked too bad for me to fix. Dymondwood is very dense, on the hard side on the tools, but takes a finish nice. You can build a much smaller riser and cut a deeper sight window with it not to mention a very stable material.

Dymondwood is compressed under lots of pressure.  I understand that there are 2 grades of it as far as density.  You do not want the denser varity as it is more brittle.  Chad
