#C395 - Size 33 Slate & Shell Set (Snow) - XL Keyaki bowls

These Keyaki (zelkova wood) bowls have a pleasant orange-brown tone. They are XL size, and fit the stones snugly. Because they arrived to Colorado in good condition, they have not been refurbished and still have their original finish.

The 180 white pieces are clamshell, size 33. They were soaked in hydrogen peroxide for a week before being rinsed with distilled water. There is a mix of grades, but they are mostly Snow-grade Mexican clamshells. This is the highest grade of Mexican clamshell, as the lines are dense and straight, so they traverse the stones in the same way that lines traverse a go board.

The 181 black stones are slate. They are slightly larger than the white; this is preferred so that they appear the same size side-by-side on the board because of black's slimming effect. They were washed with soapy water and rinsed with distilled water, but have not been buffed with mineral oil as we leave this choice to you.

This is a  Vintage  item.
