#145152 - 18cm(ish) Floor Board Set - Katsura / Matsu - Paulownia Lid - Slate and Shell - High-Gloss Bowls - Paulownia Box - Free Airmail Shipping
This thick goban set came to Baduk Club from a private home in Toyama. The seller notes that his uncle has Alzheimers disease so the details of the set aren't known. However, this uncle also had an extensive Jazz collection on vinyl, so he clearly had good taste.The set was not measured or photographed very well. Sorry! However, it was clearly cared for. The board is in excellent condition with clean corners and edges. The playing surface is clean of any major defects and the raised-lacquer grid is outstanding. It seems about 17cm-20cm thick, and was cut in the Plain-sawn style. The Kiura cut provides a look at the center of the tree, with the endgraying displaying the impressive growth rings. The dark color of heartwood is uniform throughout the entire piece, so the material is probably Katsura but could be Matsu (pine) or something similar. The board is protected by a paulownia lid.
