What kind of wood are CPRs playfields made from?
Our wood is now genuine American Hardwoods Inc 17/32 Maple plywood, which is the actual wood used for playfield manufacturing in Chicago for the last 50+ years. It is still being used today for Stern pinball playfields, and comes from the same mill (made in the USA) that has been making it for Churchill Cabinet in Chicago since the beginning. It is the best play field wood in the world, and special thanks goes to Mr. Roger Duba of Churchill Cabinet for all his support in our negotiations for CPR access to this exclusive stock of wood that is only run a few times a year by ONE mill. Our new relationship with Churchill and American Hardwoods is yet another step in authenticity and quality that we have wanted to make for a long time. Their special blend of veneers, cores, and tolerances are exclusive to this wood and pretty much a secret recipe that won’t even be disclosed to us !
