Help identifying new Go board wood type and quality

Post by Kumoki »

Hello fellow Go enthusiasts,

I have acquired a wonderful used Go board online however the seller was not able to provide much information about it unfortunately. I would like some help in identifying what kind of go board I might have, particularly what kind of wood it’s made of. I will post some images here, please have a look and help me identify this beautiful Go board. : )

If possible please let me know if this would be considered a high quality board?

Thank you so much for the heads up I think the link expired. I’ll create a new one : )

Any help in confirming what kind of wood this might be, spruce or Kaya or some other type, would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s the new link for the photos:
