WTB Black G-10 and ring billets

Why G-10 and/or why not blk. phenolic like everyone else uses?
Are you aware of the differences btwn the two mtrls.?
A quick FYI:
G10 is a continuous woven glass fabric laminated with an epoxy resin.
The sheet rod is ground from a sheet of raw material.
It is extremely high in mechanical strength, has low moisture absorption and dissipation factors.
It is flame retardant at 300 degrees F (that should help if the cue ever catches fire).
Atxxx Double Black Linen® Tube was developed specifically for custom cue makers.
The tubing is manufactured using a fine black linen and a proprietary pigmented-resin system.
The material is a thermo-set linen phenolic impregnated plastic, strong, easy to machine,
and jet black in color after applying a clear coat. (There is no glass in phenolic).
If you think black-lung is scary, imagine glass-dust coating the interior of your lungs.
"Breath deep the gathering doom" because you could be spitting up blood within a week.
Is that scary enough for you?
There is no benefit to using G-10 in a cue other than weight savings.

Thanks for your concern... I understand the properties of the G-10 , health and others.. have dealt with inhalation hazards since the early 80's.. just looking at something that was not done much do to the issues... aside from that Iam also looking for rings/ ring biilets "not g10' thanks again for your response.
