Pine wood contains a large amount of Yani(tar), so it has been treated with a Yani(tar) stop, but tar components may seep through to the surface.
Please wipe the Go Bowls dry before placing Go stones in it.
Also, please refrain from leaving Go stones in for a long period of time. Yani(tar) ingredients may adhere to the Go stones.

"Oimatsu" is an old pine tree.
The central part of a several hundred year old pine tree is called "Koematsu," and is prized as a material for woodwork because of its beauty.
Pine wood is a very difficult material to saw and process because of its high tar content.
When sawing, the saw grain is sometimes coated with oil to melt the tar and prevent it from sticking to the saw blade.
On the other hand, because it contains a large amount of yani(tar), it is resistant to decay, and its beautiful wood color and grain make it a very popular material.
Go Bowl is explained in detail in "How to Select Go Bowl". Please take a look.
*Because "Oimatsu" is a very rare material, there is no explanation about it in the "How to Select Go Bowl" page. Please understand.
