This set includes vintage go bowls and thick go stones. They were inspected by Mr. Rocky.
The bowls are Karin (quince), sometimes called Indian Rosewood. The bright red tone will fade over the years with UV exposure to an orange and brown color. They were refurbished in our Colorado workshop by being scrubbed of their original finish, treated with mineral oil, then buffed with Monkey Butter. They are size XL and fit the stones comfortably.
The 180 white pieces are Mexican clamshell, a bright and shiny white color. There is a mix of grades. They were soaked in oxygenated water for a week, then rinsed with distilled water.
The 181 black pieces are Japanese slate, slightly larger than the white pieces to account for black's slimming effect. They were washed with soapy water and rinsed with distilled water. They have not been buffed with mineral oil yet, as we leave that option to you.
