Title: Phenolic Riser source
Post by: Jim Rocole on January 19, 2011, 12:50:00 PM
Where would I get a Phenolic Riser BLock? I have a couple of sets of dark myrtle limb lams and would like to pair them with a solid black riser. I saw phenolic riser that looked great.

Here is the link that you need. Call the number and ask for Craig Cool.  I bought black there 1 3/4" thick. They will cut any width and length you want.

From plastics international....around $12 to $15 for a 1 3/4" x 18" x 2" block...plus shipping. Not too bad at all.  


Its good stuff too, I purchased some and built a couple bows from it already.....however, dificult to work given it is so hard

WOW..  I request a quote for black phelonic from Plastics Int.. I asked for a 1.75" x 3" x 20" piece and the quote they emailed me back was for 98 bucks!!!!

How did you get your piece for so cheap?

Maybe we could do a group order and save a little coinage......

Just a thought.  I'd be interested in it

Google, McMaster Carr. They sell all types of material for industrial use.  Micarta, phenolic, delrin, etc.
