Im thinking about building a riser for some ilf limbs. I have heard that phenolic is a strong material, and also heavy. I was wondering how it would work for a riser? Is it stiffer than like actionwood or dymondwood? I found some canvas phenolic for $60 for a 24x4x1.5" piece, but the linen phenolic is alot more expensive. If anyone has any info on phenolic or any pics of phenolic riser bows, Id appreciate it. thanks
Here is one:

Gregg made me this Shrew Classic Hunter - Phenolic w/ Osage accents....
Go to Bob Morrison's site. He usually has a few in the stock bows ILF risers.
ok thanks
Here is the all phenolic riser i had custom made by Groves a few years ago. It shoots right up there with my metal handle bows...heavy, steady in the hand, no hand shock, and not cold in the winter.

Those Groves have a very classy design.
Sad but true that know one took over the business and continue building those bows.
