Misshapen or deformed stones?

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

we (seattle go center) had a big stone washing party just two days ago -- and from what I hear, they even wrote a formal document on the washing and drying process

If you don't mind lots of oil from people's hands getting on them, not really. However, it is nicer to use one that is clean.

Nifty! But how long had it been since the previous washing? And is washing a routine thing? If so, what is the frequency?

Do you have any plans to sell yunzi - biconvex stones? I'd love to go in for some 38s in those.
If things go well we'll look into adding more products like that later. Probably not in the short term though.

Yearly at our club, would be more often if something made it necessary.
