I really wanted to do this initially, but getting uniform lines was going to be extremely difficult. The fillable pens/markers I could find for pigmented ink make lines that are to thick and not uniform. I don't really want to use a sword or knife to do it, because a large jig would be needed and I'm not making more than a few for fun.[/quote]

The big rig jig is only necessary in a production situation where one might be making hundreds of boards. In your case, you’d only need one pair of guides for one pass of the blade, carefully repositioning between strokes. Your comment about easily being able to remove the lines and top coat indicates great planning.

How has it been holding up?

I’ve got a similar type of project underway: same base wood, different marking system.

It is working as intended, a nice looking board that I am not afraid to throw in a bag with other things or spill something on since I can easily refinish it.
It is mainly the hassle of getting a sword, making a jig, and ink that I wanted to avoid with the lines. The only reason I would want to own these items is to go into goban production, which I do not want to do. They are tools to me. I would have gone this more complex route if there were truly no nice looking alternative, hence the moderately extensive testing of pens/inks and finishes.
