It has an even yellow color typical of Shinkaya (Alaskan Spruce). It is a quarter-sawn board, a Tenchi-masa cut. This cutting style creates straight lines on most of the surfaces, so the board is easy on the eyes and only some cross-grain heartwood appears on the sides. This is one of the highest-rated cuts for go boards. The board is in great condition, with good edges and corners. It would still be good to clean and wax the board, unless your climate is as humid as Japan's. Visit my Care Instructions to learn more.
