Life In 19x19

Very happy for you, a wonderful find that you will prize for many years. The bowls appear to be chestnut. Those marks on the bottom surface? Obviously the blood of transgressors. Please post additional observations as they happen.

All set looks very nice and special.
Thank you for sharing,

Hope you can enjoy live-action and epic games on that lustrous goban.

My girlfriend and I have already enjoyed a good handful of games on the board, it is quickly becoming a favorite night in ritual

Take care

I recalling like the color and the flow of the grain on them as well, they have a good weight and the lids fit perfectly

I took the time to attach your pictures here so that the people here with more qualified expereience than me can help you with the wood of both goban and goke and the meaning of the marking on the bottom.

Thank you very much, I’m not sure why I was having so much ...

Here is a shot of the bottom (not sure what the marking is of) also attaching a pic of my Hyuga shell and slate stones not sure of the wood of the bowls but I love how they look!

Thanks very much!

There we go I got the JPG to work

I’m attaching pics of a board I picked up recently from a flea market, not sure if it is Kaya or not, but I couldn’t pass on the price kaya or not.

New to the forum and the game of Go, so far I have enjoyed learning various strategies and play styles. I just purchased my first board and stones.
