kaya.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpruce wood is widely used because it grows straight, is odorless, has low oil content, is easy to process, and is in good supply, making it relatively inexpensive to produce Go\/shogi boards.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpruce board is sold at an affordable price but it has a similar grain and color to honkaya but is not as high quality as honkaya wood.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe quality of the spruce is comparable to that of honkaya or Hyuga kaya, but it is less prone to deformation and cracking.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpruce wood is also used as SPF (spruce, pine, fir) material for furniture and building materials, but unlike kaya wood, it shows significant deterioration over time, such as changes in wood color, and has a shorter life span.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e          \n*Go

cutting style among all cutting styles !!!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Shihou-masa\" is an ideal cutting style with straight grain (masame)* on the top, bottom, and both sides (players' sides) of the board.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis cutting style is only possible when the wood is cut out from a tree with a large diameter, so we can say that the word shihou-masa means the boards are made from trees with a large diameter or a well-aged tree.\u003cbr\u003e\nTherefore, it is regarded as the most valuable board with a higher price.\u003cbr\u003e\nEspecially, a board made of kaya wood (Japanese Torreya) shihou-masa is very expensive, sometimes priced in the millions or even tens of millions of JPY (several thousand to several hundred thousand US dollars), because they are extremely rare and hard to get.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Go board cutting styles are explained detail in \"How to choose a board\".\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease take a look.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca
