DymondWood apparently is birch plywood infused with resins. http://www.rutply.com/products/dymondwood.html. As used on the Diamond Pro-Am, it is available in several stains to make it look more like natural wood. It creates a very hard surface that doesn't dent when pool balls bounce on it. This is great in a commercial setting.
But for good looks in a home, some people prefer the natural wood rails and skirts on the Professional model.

Accidental drop a few balls on that real wood finish rails when you're putting them on the playing surface..and you can add your own personal touch to the rails as well...in the form of nice neat little dents:grin:

Down the road re-sale value?:wink:
Design conflict...and dumb-ass mechanics that are not smart enough to figure out....drop the side skirts off on the floor first before you try and remove the top rails...so you don't have to use a pry bar to get the skirts to fit over the ball returns in order to lift the rails off the slate, then use the same pry bar to get the skirts to fit back over the ball return when reassembling the rails back on the table....so take a hacksaw and cut the arms off the ball return then mount it higher up so you can get the rails back on...and the ball return won't work now...so order some drop pockets for $400 and thank the dumb-ass that worked on the table last.....OH...did I say that out loud, I was just thinking it...honestly:grin:

I know -- character dimples -- but I still like the real wood.
I have a lot of dents in my wood rails from players slamming down the chalk. No cig burns. A few ball dimples plus some other gauges. I guess they can all be fixed but I am not really concerned about resale.
