Thinking about "taking the plunge" on an ILF riser. I know the purists insist on all-metal, but if it doesn't have some wood I just can't warm to it. Considering wood/phenolic for additional stiffness. What woods compliment phenolic? A black/white ebony would be a looker, but I bet you have to "slap leather" for that stuff? Pics get extra credit...thanks!
My favourite is cocobolo/phenolic. Take a look at some of Bob Morrisons risers.
I'm also a big fan of cocobolo ...... and adding some carbon limbs would be the bomb!
Add a matching handled carbon steel knife and I'd say you are set
Here's a Morrison zebrawood/phenolic:

Saw this TT Black Magic on another site. Sweet riser for 4 bills. Phenolic and Walnut.
Sweet looking riser!
