In particular, African Blackwood will naturally oxidize from brownish to darker, glossier black, which is an indicator of an authentic and natural hardwood, not a defect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: The set is to be cleaned and maintained according to the instructions that are given with the instrument.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Use a dry soft cloth to wipe down pieces. Do not expose to water or prolonged sunlight as this will help to soften the natural finish over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xiangqi Go","offers":[{"title":"Ebony \/ 4.8cm","offer_id":50352887922881,"sku":"XQG20260624002-1","price":359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebony \/ 5.8cm","offer_id":50352887955649,"sku":"XQG20260624002-2","price":379.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"African Blackwood \/ 4.8cm","offer_id":50352887988417,"sku":"XQG20260624002-3","price":359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"African Blackwood \/ 5.8cm","offer_id":50352888021185,"sku":"XQG20260624002-4","price":379.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sandalwood \/ 4.8cm","offer_id":50352888053953,"sku":"XQG20260624002-5","price":359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sandalwood \/ 5.8cm","offer_id":50352888086721,"sku":"XQG20260624002-6","price":379.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Burmese Rosewood \/ 4.8cm","offer_id":50352888119489,"sku":"XQG20260624002-7","price":359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Burmese Rosewood \/ 5.8cm","offer_id":50352888152257,"sku":"XQG20260624002-8","price":379.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/8903\/1105\/files\/High-EndWoodenXiangqi_ChineseChess_SetwithFoldableEmbossedGoldBoard.png?v=1782312117","url":"https:\/\/www.chessxiangqi.com\/products\/high-end-wooden-xiangqi-chinese-chess-set-with-foldable-embossed-gold-board","provider":"Chess Xiangqi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
