Custom size board

General discussions about gobans, etc., go here. If you're selling go equipment, it should go in the Trading Post.

Custom size board

Post by LokBuddha »

Where can I inquire about a custom size 10x19 bamboo board? I like the size so it fit my desk, I only like to solve tsumego on the board these day, and the full size is too cumbersome for my desk.

Perhaps a folding board, a slotted board, or a 13x13 board ?

I like Ed’s idea of using smaller boards or half of a foldable board, and I like and use both these boards by Hebsacker Verlag in Germany:

If you really want a custom sized/custom made board, perhaps user dramflamloc (Brendan) can help you.

Hi, I bought my bamboo fldable goban at Hebsaker shop (Germany),
http://www.hebsacker-verlag.de/bamboo-folding-board-19x19-20mm-dark-with-printed-lines-p-2971.html
but I would not recommend bamboo, but for its hardness, since it's not a very nice looking board.

You can find on ebay some better alternatives:
