Wow, what a beautiful board. I am sure it was well worth the wait. I hope you enjoy playing on the board for many years to come.
Do you have any more pictures of the top of the board? I always like seeing the grain on the top playing surface.
Thanks,
Justin

That is a beautiful. Would you mind taking 3-4 more pictures at various angles and sharing them? I always enjoy these showcases.

Congrats! Wood floor, too! I hope people will enjoy this board for hundreds of years,
assuming humanity will not have destroyed ourselves first.

Thank you for the extra pictures. It's a lovely board and has a beautiful grain pattern to the board. How many suns is the board or centimeters? Did you also purchase new stones with the board?
I am currently looking for Go stones for my board but unsure of the size. After seeing your stones on the board. I like the aesthetic between your board and stones. What size are the stones?

Hi Justin! I think my board is 5.4sun or 5.6 not entirely sure.
The stones are Korean Glass Stones, 11mm thick and 22 (?)mm strong. They are the biggest avaiable
I had them before I purchased the new board. Sadly, I have no money for new stones at the moment.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
