Scrabble tiles are made of Vermont Hard Maple by “hopper feeding” 22-inch pieces down a chute, where they hit on a stop and are clamped in place while a horizontal saw passed down the row, cutting rough tiles 10 at a time, like slices from a long row of bread loaves. The pure white sand used in hotel ashtrays is used for tumbling the tiles smooth without changing their color.  Carnauba wax, the same used on M&M’s, gives them the best finish.

Scrabble tiles are made by cutting them from light wood or from plastic. The tiles are divided into sections that are 19 mm by 19 mm in size. They are stamped with letters and numbers.
