I'd like to hear from some bowyers about the difference between these two materials. I've read about birch actionwood being less desirable than maple actionwood, but never seen any reasons why. Thanks...Mike
TTT for a very good question!

Im sure Black Widow could answer this ...
Good question. Never shot either but I sure like the bamboo actionwood...PR
Well actually, it nearly ceases being wood after it is injected with the hot plastics, so I really suspect there is little if any difference.
Both can make excellent riser woods in their natural state.
I'm with George.
unless it changed, actionwood is not "injected" but simply laminated like plywood and cut across the laminations. Dymondwood is similar but "injected".

Yep, I was asking only about the non-impregnated actionwood. Dymondwood is a whole other creature...Mike
I have used both for risers and can not tell any difference.I have not used either for limb lams so can't say about limbs. Bob
My guess maple might be better in limbs. You might need a chrono to see it.
