In the future I’d love to have signatures on the table by dan players who would share a game on this table.
Maybe write some nice go proverbs or maybe carve a dragon and a phœnix or something. But so far it is functional and enjoyable.
I can well imagine the dinnertime conversation around a table like that. And I guess the old boardinghouse reach would get quite a workout. Could you pass the butter with your next move?
I love the idea! I have started looking at the process. It can be a bit tricky. I have to train on some pieces of wood to feel how it goes and maybe one day I’ll try on the table. It could be really nice.
yeah, you can definitely get some varying results. I think it depends a lot on the kind of wood, and especially the grain. But if done well would look pretty awesome. Post some picks when you finish it!
Did you do the laser engraving yourself, or was it bought like that? I have been thinking of refinishing a board, but not confident on how I would get the lines back on.
i made the bord from scratch, i send it to a laser machine here on my city, lines got a little big about 1,5mm and now i am thinking on adding paint to them and epoxy resin, this was with engraving, but you can also try with marking the lines with the laser, is cheaper and i think it will do a good result remember to have a little extra material so you can perform some experiments on it, engraving markin varnishing, etc.
When your supposed to be working but find yourself playing Go online, then taking pictures of your setup so that you can share it with friends, then remember that there is a study/goban thread on ogs and you may as well share it there too. . . Ahhh procrastination at its finest. Happy Satarday everyone.
Indeed I would love to use my tablecloth as a Go board. I just counted, its 59 x 48. Not sure how many stones I’d need… something like 1000 of each colour?
