Keyaki wood is hard and resilient, offering excellent durability and making it well suited for everyday play.
Its greatest appeal lies in its expressive grain patterns.
As a ring-porous wood with clearly defined growth rings, it displays bold and dynamic figuring, and may occasionally show distinctive patterns such as bird’s-eye or wave-like grain, creating a truly one-of-a-kind appearance.
When polished, the wood develops a natural luster that adds elegance within its calm presence, giving it a strong visual impact on the board.
The color ranges from bright yellow-brown to reddish-brown, gradually deepening and gaining richer luster with continued use.
The evolving character brought by aging is one of the unique pleasures of keyaki wood.
