This thick go board came to Baduk Club from a board game shop in Osaka, Japan.
The board is 17.5cm thick, and stands 30cm tall on legs. It is a quarter-sawn board, a Tenchi-masa cut. This cutting style is highly rated, 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), and weighs 13.5kg.
The board comes with a paulownia lid for protection, as well as an old cotton cover. In spite of the cover, the board has numerous incidental marks.
