2-sun Go Table Board – Kyushu Kaya, 4-piece laminated, Straight-grain cut

About the Wood

This board is made from kaya grown in Kyushu. It is a 4-piece laminated board, and the grain across all four sections is consistent and even — the color and pattern come together without noticeable variation.

About the Construction

This is a 4-piece laminated board. Joining multiple sections helps control the natural movement of the wood and improves stability over time. The seams are aligned with the board’s lines, so the playing surface feels consistent when pieces are placed.

About the Straight Grain

This board is cut in masame, or straight grain — where the log is cut toward the center, producing parallel lines running along the length of the board. Straight-grain boards are known for their clean, formal appearance and long-term dimensional stability.

Thickness and Feel

The board is 2-sun thick (approximately 6.1 cm). This is a standard thickness for a table board, offering a well-balanced feel between weight and the sensation when placing pieces.

Aging and Natural Characteristics

No knots, a yellow tone, and a grain that is even across the full surface. Kaya deepens gradually to amber with use, and because the grain here is uniform, the change will spread evenly across the board over time.

Choosing This Board

Even grain, no knots, and a clean surface throughout. A straightforward choice for those looking for a straight-grain laminated table board.
