This wonderful set of go equipment was refurbished in our Colorado workshop. There was a lot of interested at the USGC 2025 when I auctioned off a similar set, so as I procrastinated packing for the 2025 European Go Congress, I took a few photos of this one.
The stones are size 36 slate & shell. They have been cleaned per our Care Instructions. As you can see from the photos, the 180 white pieces are Mexican clamshell over 10mm thick, with a variety of grades but mostly Snow-grade. The 181 black pieces are slate, slightly thicker than the white to account for black's slimming effect.
The clamshell stones were soaked in h2o2 for a week, rinsed with distilled water. The black stones were washed, then rinsed with distilled water, but they have not been buffed with mineral oil as we leave that option to you if you want a darker glossy look.
The bowls look like Karin (Quince) with a lovely red/orange tone. Quince is a dense wood with good longevity. It is sometimes called Indian Rosewood, and will slowly change color over time from red to orange to brown.They are XL or XXL size, and they fit the stones comfortably. The bowls were refurbished with a treatment of Monkey Butter, a combination of beeswax and mineral oil.
This is a Vintage product.
