This board came to Baduk Club from a go parlor in Tokyo that shut down. It was shipped to Colorado for refurbishing. The board has a raised lacquer grid, which was saved. We sanded the bottom and sides, cleaned the playing surface, and treated it with Monkey Butter (mineral oil and beeswax).
The board is about 5cm thick, and it is a single piece with a Kiura cut. This is a plain-sawn board that shows off the heart of the tree.
Some photos were taken during the refurbishing process, which will be in an album on Instagram (link coming later). A small dent in one edge was filled with beeswax.
The wood type is not known, but is most likely Katsura which takes on a red/brown tone over time.
This is a vintage item.
