This thick go board came to Baduk Club from a resell shop in Iwate, Japan.
The board is 17cm thick, and stands 30cm tall on legs. It is a quarter-sawn board, a Tenchi-masa cut. This cutting style is the highest rated because it has the highest dimensional stability - the wood has the best resistance to twisting or splitting over time. The cut is also highly preffered because it creates straight lines on almost all of the board's surfaces. Such a cut is only possible with a tree of immense diameter. It has an even yellow color typical of Shinkaya (Alaskan Spruce).
The board has a few incidental marks and is in very good condition. It comes with a cloth cover and paulownia lid.
