Amapa—Amapa is a South American hardwood. It grows in the northern regions of Brazil. It has a straight and tight grain pattern which looks similar to maple. The wood machines and finishes well. Amapa has many uses including fine furniture, carpentry, and moldings.
Ash—White ash is a high quality U.S. hardwood. The wood has a very light creamy color and is heavy and dense, with a prominent grain resembling oak. Its many uses include furniture, baseball bats, oars, and tool handles. Its color is consistent and it finishes and machines well.

It grows in the southern regions of Brazil in higher altitudes. It is a dense, yet stable hardwood which machines well and finishes smoothly. It is used for fine furniture and cabinets, paneling, floors, gun stocks, and decorative veneers.
Centennial™ Cushion Rubber—Centennial cushion rubber is made of the same formula as SuperSpeed but has a smaller, triangular shaped profile.
Cross Bolt—This is a base frame to legs attachment system which is patented and used exclusively by Brunswick. It provides for steel “cross bolts” to interlock with each other resulting in a rock solid joint.
Curubixa—Curubixa is an exotic South American hardwood. It is a member of the mahogany family. It is not a rain forest wood as it is abundant in a number of countries. It looks a lot like mahogany but is harder. It sands and finishes well and is used in many fine furniture products.
Dove tails—Superior method of joining the slate cross supports to the base frame side sills. This method has been used in high quality furniture construction for centuries.
High Performance Nut Plates™—High Performance nut plates are used for attaching the rails to the slate. They are threaded metal plates which are positioned inside the body of the rail. High Performance nut plates can handle 70% more torque than standard “t-nuts”, which are used on most competitive tables.
High Pressure Laminate (HPL)—High pressure laminate is constructed of special phenolic resins and papers to form a hard, scratch, stain, and dent resistant surface laminate. An HPL is used where a surface must withstand rough commercial type use yet retain its original appearance.
Mahogany—Mahogany is a valuable hardwood found in many places throughout the world. It has very good machining characteristics and finishes very well. It is used in fine furniture, clocks, high quality doors, fireplace mantels, and many other high quality products. Brunswick uses all plantation mahogany, which means the trees were planted for harvest and will be replaced for future harvests.
Maple—Maple is grown throughout southern Canada, and northern and northeast United States. It is known for its hardness, density, and weight. Its grain pattern is usually straight but it may occasionally be curly or wavy. Its uses include furniture, pool cues, dance floors, and table tops.
Medium density fiberboard (MDF)—Medium density fiberboard is made of wood fibers combined with a synthetic resin, or bonding agent, and bonded together under heat and pressure. MDF is flat, smooth, uniform, and dense, and used in kitchen cabinets, furniture, and moldings. It is an excellent substitute for solid wood in may interior applications.
Mother-of-Pearl (MOP)—Mother-of-pearl diamond shaped rail sights are made of genuine cultivated pearl material.
Oak—Oak is the most popular of all hardwoods. It is well known for its beautiful grain patterns and extreme durability. Its many uses include furniture, hardwood flooring, and kitchen cabinets. It has very good sanding and finishing qualities. Oak is grown in northern portions of the Great Lakes states, northeastern U.S., and southern Canada.
Particleboard—Particleboard is a wood panel product made of wood particles bonded together with a synthetic resin under heat and pressure. It is recognized as an excellent substrate for laminated panel constructions. It is usually laminated with wood veneers, high pressure laminates, or vinyl films.
Pearlized—Pearlized rail sights are made of a high engineering composite resin which is wear and fade resistant.
Plywood—Plywood consists of multiple layers of thin wood which are bonded together with a resin under heat and pressure. It has been used for many years throughout the furniture and home construction industries. It is a very strong, durable, and versatile material.
Polyester—Polyester is a very durable and expensive finish application which is commonly used on high quality pianos. It has a high gloss and extremely smooth finish. It is easily repaired if scratched.
Poplar—Poplar (also known as tulipwood) is grown throughout the U.S. and southern Canada. It is a very abundant hardwood and is used widely throughout the furniture and woodworking industries. Among its uses are furniture, moldings, and musical instruments. It has a straight grain with a fine even texture.
SuperSpeed® Cushion Rubber—SuperSpeed cushion rubber is patented and is produced exclusively for Brunswick. It has a larger profile than the rubber used by other companies. A canvas control fabric is embedded into the top to control the accuracy of the rebound. Because of this, SuperSpeed is 40% more consistent than a leading competitors’ rubber. It also has a canvas cloth on the back surface to assure good adhesion to the wood rail.
Vinyl—Vinyl laminates are used throughout the furniture industry to achieve an attractive look at an economical cost. Because they are not as durable as HPL’s, they are usually used on parts which are not exposed to a lot of wear and tear.
