The cushion rails of the Regina table are made up with what is known as a 3-ply body consisting of three layers of woods of alternating grain glued together to insure the rails against climatic changes. The center piece of these plies is hard maple, the most suitable wood to hold the cushion bolts firmly. The top of the rail is covered with a rail cap of compound construction faced with solid rosewood. The rails are securely fastened to the table by invisible cushion bolts. These bolts are covered by blind cushion rail facing which is built up of 5-ply compound construction and faced with a selected grade of figured Mahogany veneer.
