dymondwood vs actionwood

[doublespurs21]

   Are these two, dymondwood and actionwood the same  thing???  I do know that both where used to make recurve bows. Actionwood came first in bow making than dymondwood came later. I know you  can not find dymondwood any more, but I found 2 different places  that still  have actionwood for sell. thanks chris

 way back than,, they used actionwood for making bow risers and limbs for recurve bows. Than some time later dymondwood  replaced actionwood.. I can get some old actionwood,jusy wondering if they are the same thing with different names.
