This Japanese go board was shipped to Colorado for refurbishing. It is Katsura, featuring a high density and a deep red/orange color. It is a single piece, 5.2cm thick, and weighs 11lbs. It is a standard size, 44.8cm long and 40.8cm wide, and stands 18cm tall on the legs. Stones hit Katsura with a muted sound, making it subtly more pleasant to play on.
The original legs are included, so you can use this as a floor board or remove them and use it as a table board. The legs have been marked so that you can fit them precisely into position by matching the marks on the underside of the board. The legs were also treated with Monkey Butter.
This board was originally part of a floor board that was repurposed as 4 table boards. The wood was planned on all sides, divided with a band saw, and then sanded. Next, it was treated with food-grade Mineral Oil. Next, a laser was used to engrave a new 19x19 grid on the top. This grid is based on standard Japanese dimensions, with cells 22mm wide and 23.7mm tall. Finally, the board was treated with Monkey Butter and buffed clean.
This is a vintage item.
